Alessandra Blackburn · Answer 1

Polymers of amino acids can be both fibrous as well as globular protein. Hemoglobin is a globular but the collagen is the fibrous protein both being the amino acids.

Explanation:

Soluble in water: globular protein is soluble in water. intermediate filaments: fibrous protein Insoluble in water: fibrous protein is insoluble in water. function as structural proteins in the cell: fibrous protein. some function as enzymes: globular protein. structure is somewhat spherical; globular protein. structure is rod-like: fibrous protein
