Question

Which among the following statements is incorrect regarding protein?

• A. The formation of myelin sheaths require high levels of amino acids.
• B. RUBISCO is the most abundant protein found in nature.
• C. Excess amino acids obtained from proteins are not stored in the body.
• D. Insulin is a protein hormone released from the pancreas.

Answer 1

The correct option is A The formation of myelin sheaths require high levels of amino acids.

$\bullet$ Myelin sheaths is a protective covering surrounding axons. It's formation requires high levels of fatty acids.
$\bullet$ RUBISCO is a enzyme present in the chloroplast of the plants. It is the most abundant protein found in nature.
$\bullet$ Excess amino acids that are obtained from the proteins that we consume cannot be stored in the body. They are broken down and the ammonia formed is eliminated from the body.
$\bullet$ Hormones like insulin and trypsin are made of long chains of amino acids. Insulin is a peptide hormone synthesised in the beta cells of pancreas.
