Question 1

What happens during protein denaturation

Answer 1

the secondary and tertiary structures get destroyed and only the primary structure is retained

Question 2

Explain how tertiary structure is formed by interactions between Hydrophobic interactions

Answer 2

amino acids with nonpolar, hydrophobic R groups cluster together on the inside of the protein, leaving hydrophilic amino acids on the outside to interact with surrounding water molecules

Question 3

Examples of protein types and functions: i.e. enzymes catalyze chemical reactions

Answer 3

Antibodies: Protect the body from foreign pathogens

Question 4

Why and how would the structure and function of a protein change if a hydrophobic amino acid was substituted for a hydrophilic one?

Answer 4

In a protein, the replacement of a hydrophobic amino acid with a hydrophilic one due to a mutation can disrupt the protein’s structure and function

Question 5

What is the main function of carbohydrates

Answer 5

providing energy

Question 6

what do phospholipids do

Answer 6

provides structural integrity to cell membranes, separating the internal contents of cells from their surroundings
