    1) They serve as enzymatic catalysts, are used as

    transport molecules (hemoglobin transports oxygen) and storage molecules (iron is stored

    in the liver as a complex with the protein ferritin)

    2) they are used in movement (actin, myosin)

    3) they are needed for mechanical support (skin and

    bone contain collagen-a fibrous protein)

    4) they mediate cell responses (rhodopsin is a

    protein in the eye which is used for vision)

    5) antibody proteins are needed for immune

    protection; control of growth and cell differentiation uses proteins (hormones).
