The amine group and the R group
The R group and carbon backbone
What is the name of the bond that is formed when a polypeptide is made?
Ester bond
Glycosidic bond
Peptide bond
Amine bond
Amino acids are different from one another due to .......
their differing carboxyl group
their differing amine group
their differing R group
their differing carbon backbone
How many amino acids can be in a polypeptide?
20
200
2,000
20,000+
Due to organisms having 20 amino acids that can be sequenced in any order and in any chain length, the number of possible combinations in a polypeptide is almost infinite.
True
False
Where does a cell get the information it needs to determine which order the amino acids should be in a polypeptide?
Ribosomes
DNA
RNA
The sequence is random
Can more than one polypeptide chain link together?
Yes
No

one
two
three
four
The amino acid sequence determines the shape or conformation of the resulting protein because of......
hydrogen bonding
ionic bonding
covalent bonding
all of these answers
Polypeptides form proteins.
True
False
Denaturation is .......
When a polypeptide cannot be formed
When the stabilizing bonds between R groups are broken
When a gene codes for the wrong sequence
When a protein is too big
Denaturation is not permanent, as the bonds can be re-established.
True
False
What conditions usually do not cause denaturation?
Extreme heat
Extreme pH
Dissolving in water
All of theses
What is a proteome?
The entire complement of genes that is or can be expressed by a cell, tissue, or organism.
The entire complement of proteins that is or can be expressed by a cell, tissue, or organism.
The entire complement of amino acids that is or can be expressed by a cell, tissue, or organism.

Which protein?
It is the most abundant protein in your body. It is the major component of connective tissues that make up several body parts, including tendons, ligaments, skin and muscles. It has many important functions, including providing your skin with structure and strengthening your bones.
Collagen
Insulin
Rubisco
Rhodopsin
Immunoglobulin
