Here’s a suggested way to complete your table regarding the functions and traits of various proteins:
| Process | Name of Protein | Function of Protein | Common Traits |
|--------------------------------|-----------------------|-----------------------------------|---------------------------|
| Build body structures | Collagen | Provides strength and support to tissues and organs | Fibrous, structural stability |
| Build hair and nails | Keratin | Forms protective layers in hair and nails | Durable, tough, fibrous |
| Build and move muscle | Actin & Myosin | Contraction of muscle fibers for movement | Contractile, dynamic |
| Build pigments | Melanin | Provides color to skin, hair, and eyes | Protective, absorptive |
| Carry oxygen | Hemoglobin | Transports oxygen in the blood | Globular, binding capacity |
| Digest food | Enzymes (e.g., Pepsin, Amylase) | Breaks down food into nutrients | Catalytic, specific |
| Help you see, taste, and feel | Photoreceptor proteins (e.g., Opsin) & Taste receptors | Facilitate vision and taste perception | Sensory, responsive |
| Move ions | Ion channels (e.g., Sodium-potassium pump) | Regulates ion movement across membranes | Transmembrane, transport |
| Move nutrients | Carrier proteins (e.g., Glucose transporter) | Transports nutrients across cell membranes | Specific, selective |
| Stop bleeding | Fibrinogen | Converts to fibrin to form blood clots | Soluble, structural |
| Transmit messages in the brain | Neurotransmitters (e.g., Serotonin, Dopamine) | Carry signals between neurons | Chemical signaling, diverse |
Feel free to modify or adjust any of the entries to fit specific class requirements or preferences!
