- E.
A, B, and C
Correct Answer
A. Peptide bondsExplanation
Peptide bonds are created during the formation of the primary structure of a protein. These bonds form between the amino acids in a protein chain, linking them together to create the linear sequence of amino acids. Peptide bonds are formed through a condensation reaction, where the carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with the amino group of another amino acid, resulting in the formation of a peptide bond and the release of a water molecule. This process is repeated for each amino acid in the protein chain, ultimately forming the primary structure of the protein.Rate this question:

- C.
Denaturation
- D.
Dehydration
Correct Answer
C. DenaturationExplanation
Denaturation is the term used for a change in a protein's three-dimensional shape or conformation due to disruption of hydrogen bonds, disulfide bridges, or ionic bonds. This disruption can be caused by factors such as heat, pH changes, or exposure to certain chemicals. Denaturation results in loss of the protein's biological activity, as the specific shape is crucial for its function. Hydrolysis, stabilization, and dehydration do not specifically refer to a change in protein conformation and are not the correct terms for this process.Rate this question:

If a DNA sample were composed of 10% thymine, what would be the percentage of guanine?
- A.
10%
- B.
25%
- C.
40%
- D.
Impossible to tell from the information given
Correct Answer
C. 40%Explanation
If a DNA sample is composed of 10% thymine, it means that the other three bases (adenine, cytosine, and guanine) must make up the remaining 90%. Since DNA is a double-stranded molecule, adenine pairs with thymine and cytosine pairs with guanine. Therefore, if thymine is 10%, guanine must also be 10% to maintain the complementary base pairing. Thus, the percentage of guanine in the DNA sample would be 40%.Rate this question:

The molecular formula for glucose is C6H12O6. What would be the molecular formula for a polymer made by linking ten glucose molecules together by dehydration reactions?
- A.
C60H111O51
- B.
C60H120O60
- C.
C60H100O50
- D.
C60H102O51
Correct Answer
D. C60H102O51Explanation
When ten glucose molecules are linked together by dehydration reactions, a water molecule is removed for each linkage. Since there are ten glucose molecules, there will be nine water molecules removed. The molecular formula for glucose is C6H12O6, so for ten glucose molecules, the carbon (C) count would be 6 * 10 = 60, the hydrogen (H) count would be 12 * 10 = 120, and the oxygen (O) count would be 6 * 10 = 60. However, since nine water molecules are removed, the oxygen count will decrease by 9, resulting in C60H102O51.Rate this question:

The structural level of a protein least affected by a disruption in hydrogen bonding is the
- A.
Primary level
- B.
Secondary level
- C.
Tertiary level
- D.
Quaternary level.
- E.
All structural levelsare equally affected.
Correct Answer
A. Primary levelExplanation
A disruption in hydrogen bonding would have the least effect on the primary level of protein structure. The primary level refers to the linear sequence of amino acids in a protein chain. Hydrogen bonding primarily occurs between the backbone atoms of the amino acids, stabilizing the secondary, tertiary, and quaternary levels of protein structure. However, the disruption of hydrogen bonding would not directly impact the linear sequence of amino acids, thus having the least effect on the primary level.Rate this question:
