What are eight functions of proteins in the body?

1. Growth and maintenance of tissues 2. Structural components of cells 3. Carrier molecules (example: hemoglobin carries oxygen in blood) 4. Messenger molecules (hormones) 5. Enzymes (catalysts) 6. Antibodies to fight infection (immunoglobulins) 7. Maintenance of proper pH - Proteins are "buffers" 8.

Describe the six steps that explain how serum cholesterol contributes to heart disease.

1. LDLs interact with free radicals to oxidize the LDL 2. Oxidized LDLs form artery-blocking plaques in blood vessels - atherosclerosis 3. Surrounding tissue proliferates and plaques expand 4. Over time the plaques become hard making arteries stiff and unyielding - arteriosclerosis 5. Eventually plaques calcify making arteries stiffer 6. Loss of pliability of artery and narrowing of lumen causes blockage eventually severely restricting or totally blocks blood flow
