Mad cow disease is a fatal disease that destroys brain tissue m. Researchers have found that a prion protein which is an abnormally constructed molecule, is responsible. Which statement best describes the characteristics a protein must have to function correctly?
A protein is a long chain of amino acids folded into a specific shape
Many hormones are proteins used in cellular communication. Each hormone carries a specific message to specific target cells. State why each of these hormones is able to deliver a different message.
Each has its own shape that reacts with a certain receptor
Identify the end products of protein digestion that made up the contents of test tube B after the 2 hours
Ending of the digestion system process
Organisms contain compounds such as proteins starches and fat. The chemical bonds in these proteins can be a source of
Energy
During cellular respiration, what is the direct source of the energy used in the cells of consumers in the ecosystem represented below?
Enzymes
Bases on the investigations, the student should conclude that enzymes
Function best within a specific range of conditions
If a starch digesting enzyme were added to a sports gel that lists starch as an ingredient, which substance would increase in concentration?
Glucose
The energy in a starch molecule is stored
In the bonds between atoms
The building blocks for a starch molecule are
Molecular bases
Which statement best describes some protein molecules in a cell?
Proteins are long, folded chains that can form various cell parts
Organic compounds are used as building blocks for
Proteins, starches and fats
Explain the importance of temperature in the functioning of enzymes
Temperature effects protein shape and thus effects function
Process x is most likely caused by
The synthesis of a protein with different simple sugars
Which statement is most likely correct regarding soil bacteria that inhabit the polar regions of the earth?
They are part of the abiotic resources of that ecosystem
In living cells, chemical processes, such as synthesis, all require the action of
biological catalysts
The shape of a protein molecule directly determines its
functions inside and outside of cells
An energy rich organic compound needed by organisms is
glucose
Proteins, starch, and DNA are similar in that they are all
organic compounds
The amino acids bond together to form which type of complex molecule?
protein
Which group consists entirely of organic molecules?
protein, starch, fat
A catalyst increases the rate of a chemical reaction by
providing an alternate reaction pathway
Even though human proteins are synthesized from only 20 different amino acids, there are thousands of different proteins found in human cells. This great variety of proteins is possible because the
sequence and number of amino acids can be different in each protein
A fully functioning enzyme molecule is arranged in a complex three dimensional shape. This shape determines the
specific type of molecule it interacts with during a reaction
