Unit 4: Proteins Flashcards
Amino acids are made of many proteins.
True
Which of the following is NOT a component of an amino acid molecule?
1) An amino group
2) A sterol group
3) A central carbon
4) An acid group
2) A sterol group
What is antibiotic resistance?
Pathogenic bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics
Animal agriculture fills some important roles that vegetable crops cannot, such as grazing on steep terrain.
True
In a high-protein diet containing lots of red meat and processed red meat, the primary nutritional concern is the high levels of protein.
False
When a person doesn’t have enough glucose available, their body might use amino acids to synthesize glucose. This process is called:
Gluconeogenesis
In order to use amino acids to make glucose, fat, or ATP, the nitrogen needs to be removed. This is called:
Deamination
Which of the following need to be enzymatically digested?
Fructose, Glycerol, Protein, Starch, Lactose, Glucose, Triglycerides, Amino acids, Fibre, Monoglycerides
Protein, Starch, Lactose, Triglycerides
Which of the following are absorbed into the small intestine?
Starch, Fibre, Lactose, Triglycerides, Amino acids, Glucose, Fatty acids, Protein, Glycerol
Glucose, Fatty acids, Glycerol
Without proteases, people wouldn’t be able to:
Enzymatically break down protein in the small intestine
Health Canada recommends that ALL individuals consume the following protein:
A varied diet that includes sufficient protein
The one-dimensional polypeptide chain of amino acids, held together by peptide bonds.
Primary structure
The polypeptide chain folds into simple coils and sheets, determined by the chemical interactions between amino acids.
Secondary structure
The unique three-dimensional shape of a protein, formed as side chains of different amino acids interact.
Tertiary structure
In some proteins, multiple folded polypeptides called subunits combine to make one larger functional protein.
Quaternary structure
