Appearance. A taproot has a main root, similar in appearance to a carrot, which is also a taproot. In most cases, smaller, auxiliary roots grow laterally all along the main taproot. A fibrous root system is a mass of small roots, with an appearance of a mass of fibers. It can resemble a bird's nest or a ball of yarn. The roots are typically only a few inches long and branch frequently, similar to the canopy of a tree.
The polypeptide chains are folded in, to form their shapes, and this shape is specific for each globular protein type. The water solubility of globular proteins enables them to transport through blood and other body fluids to various locations where their action is required. Globular proteins are water soluble, whereas fibrous proteins are generally water insoluble. â¢ Fibrous proteins involve in structural functions such as providing support and protection while globular proteins are responsible for certain metabolic functions such as catalysis, transport, and regulation.
