Solution
Structural proteins are proteins that acts like a structural element of a cell instead of acting like an enzyme, such as collagen and proteins embedded in the membrane.
Functional proteins are proteins that perform some kind of function in the body especially in metabolic processes like various enzymes and also antibodies and haemoglobin.
Regulatory proteins are proteins which regulate the activation or inactivation of other metabolic processes like troponin and tropomyosin regulate the contraction of muscle by controlling the interaction of myosin and actin.
