b)

True

4.

What is the correct definition for a polypeptide?

a)

Chains of amino acids that are made by linking together amino acids by condensation reactions.

b)

Two amino acids are linked by a condensation reaction between the amine group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of the other.

c)

Four amino acids, linked by three peptide bonds.

5.

What amino acid is this?

a)

Alanine

b)

Glycine

c)

Glutamic acid

d)
7.

Are ALL of these functions carried out by proteins? Cytoskeletons, Blood clotting, Cell adhesion, Immunity

a)

Yes

b)

No

8.

What is collagen’s function?

a)

Enzymes in secretions such as nasal mucus and tears; it kills some bacteria by digesting the peptidoglycan in their cell walls.

b)

Membrane protein used to make connections between structures inside and outside a cell.

c)

Structural protein in tendons, ligaments, skin and blood vessel walls; it provides high tensile strength, with limited stretching.

2

b)

5

c)

1

d)

3

13.

Denaturation is a structural change in a protein that results in the loss (usually permanent) of its biological properties.
