Which of the following is a function of prostaglandins?
A
Regulating inflammation and pain
B
Storing genetic information
C
Synthesizing proteins in the cell
D
Transporting oxygen in the blood
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that prostaglandins are a group of physiologically active lipid compounds having diverse hormone-like effects in animals.
Recognize that prostaglandins are derived from fatty acids and have important roles in the body, including the regulation of inflammation and pain.
Consider the options given: storing genetic information, synthesizing proteins in the cell, and transporting oxygen in the blood. These functions are not related to prostaglandins.
Recall that storing genetic information is a function of DNA, synthesizing proteins is a function of ribosomes, and transporting oxygen is a function of hemoglobin in red blood cells.
Conclude that the correct function of prostaglandins from the options provided is regulating inflammation and pain.
