Question

QUESTION 1 he main role of the protein hemogilobin is to transport oxygen. Red blood celis use hemoglobin to pick up oxygen from the lungs and then drop it of at subsequent cells. Red blood cells also carry sugar (glucose) around the body. Glucose is picked up in the stomach and dropped off subsequent cells. When an Individual has sickle cell anemia, blood does not flow properly and oxygen and sugar are not transported effectively. The first 4 questions are 'scavenger hunts'. You should be able to find the answer in your notes or your textbook. Hemoglobin is a protein. During protein synthesis (and all macromolecule synthesis) ATP/energy is spent to form which Bond between monomer and assembler Bond between monomer and carrier O Bond between two monomers Bond between carrier and assembler QUESTION 2 anemia,the hemoglobin protein is mutated. In heaithy homoglobin, the eth amino aoid in the protein is glutamic acild. In those with sickle cell anemia, the 6th amino acid is valine. Which is more hydrophobic, glutamic acid or valine? Glutamic Acid Valine They are both hydrophobic amino acids Can't tell from the information given

Explanation / Answer

Hello!

I am writing down the correct options for all the questions.

1. C

2. B

3. A

4. C

5. A

6. C

7. A

8. C

9. A

10. Part A - Single chain of amino acid is Primary and the structure passing through membrane is Secondary alpha helix + beta pleated sheets. Structure B and C are combination of tertiary and quarternary structures

Chemical Interactions -

In case of Primary - Covalent bonds (Amide/Peptide bond)

In case of Tertiary - Ionic bonds, disulfide bonds, hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding

In case of Quarternary -  Ionic bonds, disulfide bonds, hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding

The tertiary and quarternary interactions will be affected. So the quarternary structure as a whole will change.
