6. What is the most simplest form of the R-group?

  • H
  • O
  • CO

7. What kind of reaction produces the peptide bond?

  • Condensation reaction
  • Hydrolysis reaction

8. What is the primary structure of a protein?

  • The primary structure of a protein is given by the specific sequence of amino acids that make up the protein.
  • The primary structure refers to coiling and pleating parts of the polypeptide molecule.

9. Enzymes that catalyze the breaking of peptide bonds are know as ______________.

  • Catalysts
  • Protease enzymes
  • Protein enzymes

10. What is the secondary structure?

  • The secondary structure is formed when the chain of amino acid coils or folds to form an alpha helix or a beta pleated sheet. Hydrogen bonds hold the coils in place.
  • The secondary structure is the sequence of amino acids in a protein.

11. What is the tertiary structure?

  • The tertiary structure is the coiling and pleating of amino acids to form an alpha helix or beta pleated sheet.
  • The tertiary structure is the final three dimensional shape of a protein is formed when these coils and pleats themselves coil or fold. This 3D shape is held in place by a number of different types of bonds and interactions.
  • The tertiary structure is the sequence of amino acids in a protein.

12. An enzyme must have an ________, the shape of which is ____________ to that of its __________.

  • Passive site, the same, substrate
  • Active site, complementary, substrate
  • Active site, the same, substrate

13. Heating a protein increases the kinetic.This causes the molecule to vibrate,most bonds are quite weak so easily broken. Whole tertiary structure can unravel and protein will no longer function. This is called?

  • Denaturation
  • Hydrolysis
  • Tertiary structure breakage.

14. Globular proteins tend to roll up into a compact GLOBE. Any hydrophobic R-groups are turned inwards, while hydrophilic R-groups tend to be on the outside. This makes the proteins water-soluble, because water molecules can easily cluster around them.

  • True
  • False

15. Fibrous proteins form FIBRES. Most have regular, repetitive sequences of amino acids and are usually insoluble in water.

  • True
  • False

16. Fibrous proteins usually have structural roles while Globular usually have...

  • Energy source roles
  • Metabolic roles
  • Storage roles

17. An example of a globular protein is ...?

  • Enzymes found in all organisms. Plasma proteins and antibodies found in the blood of mammals.
  • Collagen found in the bone and cartilage. Keratin found in fingernails and hair.

18. An example of a fibrous protein is?

  • Collagen found in bone and cartilage. Keratin found in fingernails and hair.
  • Enzymes found in all organisms. Plasma proteins and antibodies found in the blood of mammals.

19. Tertiary structure in proteins is stabilised by a number of bonds such as...?

  • Disulfide bonds, Ionic bonds, Hydrogen bonds, Glycosidic bonds
  • Disulfide bonds, Ionic bonds, Hydrogen bonds, Hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions.
  • Disulfide bonds, Ionic bonds, Covalent bonds and hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions

20. What is the quaternary structure?

  • Quaternary structure refers to the fact that some proteins are made up of more than one polypeptide subunit joined together, or polypeptide and an inorganic component.
  • Quaternary structure is the sequence of amino acids in a protein.
  • Quaternary structure refers to the coils and pleats of amino acids into a alpha helix or beta pleated structure.
