What is a function that differentiates a protein from a carbohydrate

Hey mate. Here is your answer for this question.

The proteins work as transport channels and gates where they have inner openings from the molecules to pass through. Carbohydrates work as receptors that detect the signals outside the cell.

Hope this helps you.

when atoms of different types of elements join together, they make molecules called compounds. water consists of compound molecules made up of 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom. this is why it's called h2o. water will always have 2 times the number of hydrogen atoms as oxygen atoms.
