Responda
  • Primary
  • Secondary
  • Tertiary
  • Quaternary

Questão 11

Questão
Why does a protein take on the shapes shown in this image?
Responda
  • 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

Questão 12

Questão

Responda
  • 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.

Responda
  • Cellulose
  • A steroid
  • A protein
  • A trigylceride

Responda
  • A triglyceride
  • Starch
  • Glucose
  • A protein

Questão 15

Questão
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?
Responda
  • A protein
  • A steroid
  • A monosaccharide
  • Starch

Questão 16

Questão
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?
Responda
  • 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.

Questão 17

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

Questão 18

Questão
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?
Responda
  • Bond A
  • Bond B
  • Bond C
  • Bond D

Questão 19

Questão
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?
Responda
  • 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.

Questão 20

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