consists of left-handed helix structures. Haemoglobin’s function is as a transport molecule and carries oxygen around the body. In contrast collagen’s function is as a structural molecule and to give strength to many cells including artery walls‚ tendons‚ bones‚ and cartilage. This is why it is important that Haemoglobin is soluble (so it can travel around the body in the blood) and Collagen is insoluble (wouldn’t be able to provide support otherwise as would always dissolve). Haemoglobin’s shape

The advancement of prosthetics is what I picked for the technology project we are doing for Info Comm & Tech. Why I chose this is because most people don’t know what they are or if they know what the are they don’t know the history of it. I personally think it is something everyone should know about because say you went to battle then you could possibly get hurt and get your leg blown off. How are you supposed to walk ever again if you don’t have a leg? Well prosthetics mostly prevent that. That
