Amino Acids & Proteins

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

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

• Peptide Bond
• Glycosidic Linkage
• Ester Bond
• Hydrogen Bond

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

• Amino Group
• Carboxyl Group
• 'R' Group
• Carbonyl Group

The reaction used to digest and break the bond in red is:

• Hydrolysis
• Dehydration Synthesis
• Oxidation
• Single Displacement

The number of amino acids used to produce proteins for all living things is:

• 20
• ∞
• 15
• 42

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

• True
• False

The sequence of amino acids is determined by:

• Genes
• Hydrogen Bonds
