Answer:

false

Step-by-step explanation:

Proteins determine the shape and structure of cells and direct almost all life processes. Protein functions are specific to each of them and allow cells to maintain their integrity, defend against external agents, repair damage, control and regulate functions. However provide the body with insulation underneath the skin is a function of the Adipose tissue.

Adipose tissue is a type of connective tissue made up of the association of cells that accumulate lipid in their cytoplasm. Among its functions are to serve as a shock absorber, protecting and keeping in place the internal organs as well as other more external structures of the body, and it also has metabolic functions and is in charge of generating fats for the body.

This type of tissue performs filling functions, especially in the subcutaneous areas. It also serves as a structural support.
