Solution

  1. Most of the protein in the body is found as structural protein.
  2. Proteins are the most diverse in both function and structure out of all organic molecules because of their diverse amino acids.
  3. Contractile proteins work closely with motor proteins.
  4. Hemoglobin is the iron-containing protein found in blood which moves oxygen from the lungs to other parts of the body.
  5. Enzymes act as biological catalysts, meaning they affect the speed of a chemical reaction without being changed itself.
  6. Nonessential amino acids can be created in the body and are not required in the diet.
  7. Also attached to the alpha carbon is a single hydrogen atom and a chemical group denoted by the letter R.
  8. Proteins are created by one or more polypeptide chains.
  9. The slightest change in the amino acid sequence can alter the overall structure, and therefore, function of the protein.
  10. Almost all tertiary structures can be described as globular, meaning round, or fibrous, meaning rod-like.
  11. The last structural level is the quaternary structure.
  12. When polypeptide chains unravel and lose their specific shape and therefore lose their function, it is known as denaturation.
  13. When you take in protein through food, it is broken down in the stomach by enzymes into smaller polypeptides for the body to use.
  14. To determine the amount of protein you should be taking in each day, you must first determine your ideal body weight.
