Proteins, carbohydrates and their role in the life of the cell.

Carbohydrates and proteins are important organic compounds. Carbohydrates are compounds with the general formula (CnH2nOn) x, and proteins are polymers, the monomers of which are amino acids. Carbohydrates perform a protective function in plants in the form of cellulose, deoxyribose is a part of DNA, animal glycogen and plant starch perform a storage function and are energy sources, regulators of osmotic blood pressure. Proteins are enzymes – biocatalysts, they perform a structural function as proteins of the cytoskeleton, a protective function in the form of collagen protein or in the blood in the form of immunoglobulins – antibodies of the immune system, growth factors and cytokines perform a signal function, receptor, motor function will be performed by myosin, membrane proteins cells carry out the transport of particles.
