Proteins have a variety of functions within a living cell. Describe at least three of the possible functions of proteins, and explain how proteins can be so diverse when there are only a limited number of different amino acids.

they contain energy to be transferred, they're enzymes, and they form antibodies. the reason they can be so diverse is due to the amino acids. yes there are only so many amino acids but they can be strung together in millions of different sequences.
