AI Generated Solution

To classify the proteins insulin, fibroin, myosin, and collagen into fibrous and globular proteins, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Definitions - **Fibrous Proteins**: These proteins are generally elongated and insoluble in water. They are structural proteins that provide support and strength. Examples include collagen and keratin. - **Globular Proteins**: These proteins are more spherical in shape and are usually soluble in water. They play various roles in biological processes, such as enzymes and hormones. Insulin is a common example. ### Step 2: Analyze Each Protein 1. **Insulin**: ...
