Proteins in solution (eg. in blood) bind a lot of water around them, thus preventing excessive amounts of water to be present in tissues or in peritoneal cavity etc.
When the blood is low on proteins (for instance in a case of malnutrition), blood doesnt have the "power" (so called oncotic pressure) to hold water, which can lead to an edema or a collapse of cardiovascular system.
This can be demonstrated for instance on some photos of African children suffering from malnutrition (in this case a diet very low on proteins), who have big bellies (water accumulating in peritoneum due to low blood oncotic pressure) and are therefor looking as if they were kind of fat. This symptom is called Kwashiorkor.

What role do polar charged amino acids play in protein structure and function?
Polar charged amino acids in proteins help stabilize the structure by forming electrostatic interactions with other amino acids. They also play a crucial role in protein-protein interactions and enzyme activity.
Is ubiquitin a protein and what role does it play in cellular processes?
Yes, ubiquitin is a small protein that plays a crucial role in cellular processes by tagging other proteins for degradation or modifying their function.

What role does the hemoglobin play in the body?
its a protein that is the main part of and resides in your red blood cells. The protein contains iron that carries oxygen to the cells.
Does the Golgi body play a major role in protein synthesis?
No, the Golgi body does not play a major role in protein synthesis. Its main function is to modify, sort, and package proteins and lipids produced by the endoplasmic reticulum before they are transported to their final destination within or outside the cell.
