How would you describe the four structural levels in the conformation of a protein?


Polymerization is a process that
a. creates bonds between amino acids in the formation of a peptide chain
b. involves the removal of a water molecule
c. links the sugar or one nucleotide with the phosphate of the next.
d. requires a condensation or dehydration reaction.
e. may involve all of the above

A fatty acid that has the formula C16H32O2 is
a. saturated
b. unsaturated
c. branched
d. hydrophilic
e. part of a steroin molecule.

Three molecules of the fatty acid in the above question are joined to a molecule of glycerol (C3H8O3). There resulting molecule has the formula
a. C48H96O6
b. C48H98O9
c. C51H102O8
d. C51H98O6
e. C51H104O9
