Basic information about proteins. (9th grade biology)

Questions and Answers

1.

What elements are found in all proteins?
- A.
  
  C, H, O, only
- B.
  
  C, H, O and N
- C.
  
  C, H, O, P
- D.
  
  C, H, O, S
Correct Answer
B. C, H, O and N

Explanation
C, H, O (Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen) are in all Carbohydrates and Lipids.
Proteins need: C, H, O and Nitrogen (N) for all monomers of proteins.

2.

What is a name for a monomer of protein?
- A.
  
  Polypeptide
- B.
  
  Monoscaccharide
- C.
  
  Fatty acid
- D.
  
  Amino acid
Correct Answer
D. Amino acid

Explanation
Amino acids are the building blocks (monomers) of proteins.
Monosaccharides are the building blocks of carbohydrates.

3.

This is a basic pattern of an amino acid. What does portion A represent?
- A.
  
  Carboxylic acid portion
- B.
  
  Variable portion
- C.
  
  Amine portion
Correct Answer
C. Amine portion

Explanation
Portion A in the basic pattern of an amino acid represents the amine portion. This portion consists of an amino group (-NH2) which is attached to the central carbon atom of the amino acid. The amine portion is responsible for the basic properties of amino acids and plays a crucial role in protein synthesis and structure. It is involved in forming peptide bonds with other amino acids, contributing to the formation of proteins.

4.

Which of the following is TRUE?
- A.
  
  The sequence of amino acids makes up the primary shape. The polypeptide chains fold into 3-dimensional shapes that make up various structures.
- B.
  
  The amino acids primary shape is a 3-D structure.
- C.
  
  Carbohydrates form polypeptide chains.
- D.
  
  Proteins are flat structures.
Correct Answer
A. The sequence of amino acids makes up the primary shape. The polypeptide chains fold into 3-dimensional shapes that make up various structures.

Explanation
The sequence of amino acids makes up the primary shape. The polypeptide chains fold into 3-dimensional shapes that make up various structures.

5.

In the lab, how do you test for proteins
- A.
  
  Benedict's test
- B.
  
  Iodine test
- C.
  
  Paper bag/oily test
- D.
  
  Biuret Test
Correct Answer
D. Biuret Test

Explanation
Benedict's tests for simple sugars - example: glucose. Iodine tests for starches. Paper bag (looking for oily stain) is for fats.
Biuret test is for proteins. A positive test will turn the solution from blue to purple.

Rate this question:
6.

Which of the following is NOT made up primarily of proteins?
- A.
  
  Cellulose
- B.
  
  Enzymes
- C.
  
  Bones and Muscles
- D.
  
  Transport molecules (including Hemoglobin)
Correct Answer
A. Cellulose

Explanation
Proteins make up most structures in a living organism. Proteins make up enzymes, collagen, bones, transport molecules, bone and muscle. Cellulose -- which helps to give the plants structure is a polysaccharide -- a chain of glucose molecules. It is NOT a protein.
