Question
Basic bio, I will rate you
If you eat a meal that contains 40 g of glucose, 16 g of protein and 15 g of fat, how many total calories would you get from the meal?
What two functional groups do all amino acids have? What makes one amino acid structurally unique from another? What are the two functional groups that interact between two individual amino acids to form a dipeptide. What is the specific name of the bond that links two amino acids together?
What are the four levels of protein structure? What type of bonds holds together the secondary level? At which level do proteins first gain functionality? Hemoglobin has what level of protein structure? How about insulin?
Why is insulin such an important protein, historically and physiologically?
One human cell can synthesize a fully functional insulin molecule? With recombinant DNA technology, why are two bacterial cells required to make a fully functional human insulin molecule?
Explanation / Answer
you eat a meal that contains 40 g of glucose, 16 g of protein and 15 g of fat, how many total calories would you get from the meal?
359 calories
What two functional groups do all amino acids have?
Amino group and carboxylic acid group
What makes one amino acid structurally unique from another?
Difference in alkyl chain
What are the two functional groups that interact between two individual amino acids to form a dipeptide.
Amino and carboxylic acid group
What is the specific name of the bond that links two amino acids together?
Peptide bond
What are the four levels of protein structure?
Primary ,secondary ,tertiary ,quartenary
What type of bonds holds together the secondary level?
Hydrogen bonds between adjacent amino acids
At which level do proteins first gain functionality?
Secondary at least
Hemoglobin has what level of protein structure? How about insulin?
Quartenary, same for insulin
Why is insulin such an important protein, historically and physiologically?
First human hormone to be prepared through biotechnology
Controls blood sugar
One human cell can synthesize a fully functional insulin molecule?
Yes
With recombinant DNA technology, why are two bacterial cells required to make a fully functional human insulin molecule?
One for vector and other one for genomic gene.
