Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Antifreeze proteins are molecules that bind to ice crystals and prevent their growth, thereby preventing intracellular ice formation in freeze-tolerant animals. Proton pumps are involved in regulating pH levels in cells and have no direct role in preventing ice formation. Heat shock proteins are involved in cellular stress responses and help proteins fold correctly but do not prevent ice formation. Hydration elements are not a scientifically recognized term and do not have a defined role in preventing ice formation.
