  • Disaccharide ... hydrolysis
  • Polysaccharide ... dehydration synthesis
  • Polysaccharide ... hydrolysis

Frage 6

Frage
What do these molecules have in common?
Antworten
  • They are all polysaccharides.
  • They all have the same function.
  • They all can be digested by humans and other animals.
  • All of these statements are true.

Frage 7

Antworten
  • They are all found in cell membranes.
  • They are all at least partially hydrophobic (nonpolar).
  • They all contain three hydrocarbon fatty acid chains.
  • All of these statements are true.

Frage 8

Frage
What is this molecule?
Antworten
  • A monosaccharide
  • A lipid
  • An amino acid
  • A protein

Frage 9

Frage
What is the difference between 'A' and 'B'?
Antworten
  • 'A' would be found in a protein, but 'B' would not.
  • 'A' is a sugar and 'B' is an amino acid.
  • 'A' would be involved in secondary structure, and 'B' would be involved in tertiary structure.
  • 'A' would be involved in different tertiary structure interactions than 'B'.

Frage 10

Frage
Which level of protein structure is shown in this image?
Antworten
  • Primary
  • Secondary
  • Tertiary
  • Quaternary

Frage 11

Frage
Why does a protein take on the shapes shown in this image?
Antworten
  • Because it contains amino acids
  • Because nonadjacent R groups interact with each other
  • Because the backbone of the protein is polar
  • Because it looks fabulous

Frage 12

Frage
Which statement best explains why proteins can serve so many different functions?
Antworten
  • They are soluble in water.
  • They vary in terms of chain length (i.e., the number of amino acids present).
  • They contain sulfur.
  • They have different shapes.

Frage 13

Frage
A mystery molecule contains nitrogen. What is the molecule most likely to be?
Antworten
  • Cellulose
  • A steroid
  • A protein
  • A trigylceride

Frage 14

Frage
A mystery molecule is added to a test tube of water, and it floats to the top. What is the molecule most likely to be?
Antworten
  • A triglyceride
  • Starch
  • Glucose
  • A protein

Frage 15

Frage
A mystery molecule quickly dissolves in water. It has a relatively low molecular weight (as compared to other biological molecules). What is the molecule most likely to be?
Antworten
  • A protein
  • A steroid
  • A monosaccharide
  • Starch

Frage 16

Frage
The R group of the amino acid serine is highly polar. The R group of the amino acid leucine is highly nonpolar. Where would you expect to find these amino acids in a globular protein that is normally dissolved in water?
Antworten
  • Both serine and leucine would be in the interior of the protein.
  • Both serine and leucine would be on the exterior of the protein.
  • Leucine would be on the interior, and serine would be on the exterior of the protein.
  • Serine would be on the interior, and leucine would be on the exterior of the protein.

Frage 17

Frage
Which of the following is NOT a monomer?
Antworten
  • Amino acid
  • Monosaccharide
  • Steroid
  • All of these are monomers

Frage 18

Frage
Figure 1 illustrates a dipeptide, created through dehydration synthesis. At which bond would water need to be added to achieve hydrolysis of the peptide, back to its component amino acids?
Antworten
  • Bond A
  • Bond B
  • Bond C
  • Bond D

Frage 19

Frage
The functionality of a protein is determined by its shape when in its native conformation. The native conformation of a protein is determined by the set of amino acids that comprise the protein's sequence. A certain protein consists of 325 amino acids. What could be the result if one of the amino acids in this protein were changed?
Antworten
  • The primary structure of the protein would not be altered but its tertiary structure and function would be altered.
  • The tertiary structure would be changed but the protein's function would not be affected.
  • The primary structure, tertiary structure, and the biological function would be altered.
  • There would be no change to the structure or the function of the protein.

Frage 20

Frage
Which statement is true of the process shown in this image?
Antworten
  • A polymer is generated.
  • Hydrolysis is occurring.
  • A peptide bond is broken in the process.
  • More than one of these statements is true.
