Proteins

Question 1

What are the 6 different type of protein functions

Answer 1

Catalyzes chemical reactions, provide structural support, transport substances in the body (blood and cell membranes), enables organisms to move (actin and myosin in in muscles), regulates cellular processes(hormones, altering gene expression), provides defense from disease (antibodies)

Question 2

What does amino acids contain?

Answer 2

Central carbon atom bonded to a H atom, an amino group, a carboxyl group, and R group (side chain)

Question 3

Are amino acids polar or non-polar?

Answer 3

Polar–can be more polar depending on the R group

Question 4

9 that were circled on slide 4

Answer 4

9 important amino acids that rely on food to create these 9 essential shit for life.

Question 5

What are the 9 important amino acids that rely on food to create these 9 essential acids for life

Answer 5

Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Methionine, Trytophan, Phenylalanine (Non polar), Threonine (Polar), Lysine, Histidine (+charge).

Question 6

Which of the 9 important non polar amino acids that are important for essential life (which relies on food)

Answer 6

Valine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Methionine, Trytophan, Phenylalanine

Question 7

Which of the 9 important POLAR amino acids that are important or essential life (which relies on food)

Answer 7

Threonine

Question 8

Which of the 9 important +CHARGE amino acids that are important or essential life (which relies on food)

Answer 8

Lysine, Histidine

Question 9

How are amino acids joined?

Answer 9

Through covalent bonds peptide bonds

Question 10

What is the polymer name of amino acids?

Answer 10

Peptide bonds

Question 11

What are the 4 structures of protein?

Answer 11

Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quaternary

Answer 12

Q: is it just 20 possible for each posotion of more than 20

Question 13

Define primary structure of amino acid

Answer 13

Can be divided into 4 levels, and linear sequence of amino acids.

Question 14

Define secondary structure of amino acid

Answer 14

polypeptide chain forms a coil-like shape, α helix, or a fan-shape,
β pleated sheet

Question 15

Define tertiary structure of amino acid

Answer 15

3D structure due to protein folding (mostly determined by the hydrophobic effect)

Question 16

Define chaperones and how they help structurize tertiary amino acids

Answer 16

These are proteins that interact with the polypeptide chain and produce the folded protein.

Question 17

Define Quaternary structure of amino acid

Answer 17

Proteins with multiple polypeptide chains, organized at another level
