Amino Acid Classes

The bond that joins amino acids are called:

• Peptide Bonds

• Ester Bonds

• Glycosidic Linkages

• Phosphodiester Bonds

If a methyl group (-CH₃), which does not like water, were at the 'R', the amino acid would likely be:

• Hydrophobic

• Hydrophilic

• Ionic

• Acidic

The diagram shows a bond forming between two amino acids. What is the name of this reaction?

• Condensation

• Hydrolysis

• Pepysis

• Oxidation

Amino acids all have the same general structure except for the:

• Amino Group

• Carboxyl Group

• 'R' Group

• Carbonyl Group

The primary sequence of a protein refers to the:

• Order of amino acids

• α-Helix or β-Pleated Sheet

• Interaction of subunits

• Hydrogen Bonding

Structures like an α-Helix are formed because of:

• Hydrophobic Interactions

• DiSulphide Bridges

• Salt Bridges

• Hydrogen Bonding

The structure of proteins can be changed by environmental factors such as temperature or pH.

• True

• False
