Which biomolecule is primarily responsible for building and repairing muscle tissue in the human body?
A
Carbohydrates
B
Lipids
C
Proteins
D
Nucleic acids
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the four main types of biomolecules: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids, and their general functions in the body.
Recall that carbohydrates primarily provide energy, lipids store energy and make up cell membranes, and nucleic acids store genetic information.
Recognize that proteins are composed of amino acids and play a crucial role in building and repairing tissues, including muscle tissue.
Connect the function of proteins to muscle repair by understanding that muscle fibers are made of protein structures that need to be rebuilt after damage or exercise.
Conclude that among the options, proteins are the biomolecules primarily responsible for building and repairing muscle tissue.
