Loss of function

A

denaturation

19
Q

what factors can denature a protein?

A

20
Q

proteins can have a variety of structures and functions due to the fact that

A

The 20 different types of amino acids can be assembled in a variety of orders

21
Q

because higher levels of protein structure depend upon the amino sequence of the ______ structure, a genetic mutation that causes a change in an amino acid can result in a misfolded, nonfunctional protein.

A

Primary

22
Q

contains starch

A

Potatoes, rice, and wheat

23
Q

What is a key difference between cellulose and starch?

A

The bonds between the subunits are oriented differently

24
Q

proteins can have a variety of structures and functions due to the fact that

A

The different types of amino acids can be assembled in a variety of orders

25
