Sentence 1 is correct.
Why: a protein is a biological macromolecule made of amino acids that performs specific functions (e.g., digestive enzymes, hemoglobin transports oxygen). The other sentences misuse the term:
- Sentence 2: a cheetah is an animal, not a protein.
- Sentence 3: there is no such thing as a "protein cell"; chromosomes are found in cells, not proteins.
- Sentence 4: "protein tectonics" is incorrect—plate tectonics refers to Earth's crust.
