Top Protein Quizzes & Trivia

Eggs and yogurt and cheese, beef and bacon and beans: do you have enough protein in your diet? Proteins are one of the four main biomolecules that allow life to exist as we know it, but how much do you know about this fundamental building block of living things?

Can you name the twenty-one amino acids found in the proteins of animals like you and me? Do you know the levels of protein structure that give them their shape and let them perform their functions in your body?

What are the jobs proteins do for us on a biological level, and what’s the difference between an essential and non-essential amino acid? What kinds of “non-protein” roles do proteins play in your body? Brush up on this biomolecule by taking our protein quizzes!

Choose the correct statement.

Eukaryotic rRNA genes are processed in the nucleolus.

Eukaryotic genes often contain regions that are transcribed and later excised from the RNA, called exons.

RNA catalysts are called repressors.

An AT-rich region found in eukaryotic promoters is called the AUG box.

Prokaryotic genetic units called introns typically contain genes with related functions.
