Albumin is an example of:
Correct answer: B. Simple proteins
- A. Conjugated proteins
- B. Simple proteins
- C. Both (A) & (B)
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Albumin is an example of a conjugated protein. It is a type of protein that is combined (or conjugated) with a non-protein component called a prosthetic group. In the case of albumin, it is combined with a heme group, which gives it its characteristic red color. Conjugated proteins have specific functions and play important roles in various biological processes. It's fascinating how proteins can have different structures and functions depending on their composition.

About Classification of Proteins
Proteins are classified by composition as simple, conjugated and derived proteins, and by shape as fibrous or globular proteins. The topic relates these classes to examples such as albumin, keratin, collagen, haemoglobin and casein, while distinguishing structural proteins from proteins with transport, catalytic or regulatory roles.
