Amino Acids and Polypeptides Practice

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

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

Tags

NGSS.HS-LS1-1

Structures like an α-Helix are formed because of:

• Hydrophobic Interactions
• DiSulphide Bridges
• Salt Bridges
• Hydrogen Bonding

The level of protein structure that results from hydrogen bonding causing the protein to fold into α-helix and β-pleated sheets is known as

• primary structure
• secondary structure
• tertiary structure
• quaternary structure

• polypeptide
• polysaccharide
• polyester
• polynucleotide
