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

• Hydrophobic

• Hydrophilic

• Ionic

• Acidic

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 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
