The correct answer is D. Movement is powered by skeletal muscles, composed almost entirely of protein. The skeletal muscles also provide structural support to your skeleton and other organs. Hormones are also composed from proteins to interact with cells. Antibodies and enzymes are also protein structures. Fat functions as energy storage, padding, and insulation. Lots of nutrients and energy (mostly glucose) can also be stored within muscles, though more energy (glucose, protein, fat - the three major divisions of calories/ food energy) and other nutrients are stored within fat.
