Protein structure

Check all of the boxes that can be a function of a protein.

• help transport nutrients like oxygen in the blood

• can help speed up chemical reactions like fat digestion

• build structures like hair and nails

• make up structures like antibodies and membrane pumps

Proteins are made of 21 building blocks known as ________.

• monosaccharides

• nucleic acids

• amino acids

• cholesterol

Amino acids are made of which of the following?

• C,H,O, AND P 

• x (CH2O) Where x can be any whole number 

• C,H,O, AND N

• C,H,O and long C-H side chains 

The primary structure of a protein is:

• the protein structure at its preferred pH and temperature.

• the protein structure that results from intermolecular twisting and bonding.

• the final, most important, folded structure of the protein.

• the sequence of amino acids coded by the DNA.

What is a peptide bond?

• the bond resulting from joining two amino acids

• a bond formed by removing H and O-H from adjacent amino acids so that they can link together

• both of these
