Protein

• Which of the following is NOT a function of
  protein?
• Helps build and maintain body tissue Incorrect.
  Protein does not help build bones. Our bodies
  constantly assemble, break down and use proteins
  to help build and maintain body tissue. One of
  the primary functions of protein is carrying
  nutrients in and out of cells in the body.
  Proteins are also involved in the clotting of
  blood.
