Question options: kinetic potential activation free Hide question 8 feedback Correct n 9 2.5 / 2. In biological macromolecules like proteins, the hydrophobic residues tend to clump together in the interior of the folded structure. What is the best explanation for why this occurs? Question options:Protein folding machinery interprets the amino acid code to pack hydrophobic residues into the center of proteins. This process must be important, because the cell expends large amounts of ATP to precisely coordinate protein folding. Hydrophobic residues bind each other, while polar residues cannot bind each other. Therefore the hydrophobic ones end up stuck to each other in the core of the protein. Hydrophobic residues bind to each other in specific ways. For instance, Ala forms di-methyl bonds, and phenylalanine binds isoleucine. This creates a tightly bound hydrophobic inner core. Polar residues tend to bind to water in the cytoplasm as well as to each other. The water and polar residues cannot bind to the hydrophobic ones, so in the lowest energy state the hydrophobic residues are pushed together in the middle. on 2 Membrane proteins are able to cross because sections are composed of Question options: hydrophilic phosphate regions nonpolar phosphate regions hydrophobic amino acids polar amino acids hydrophilic amino acids.

Question options: Lipids are hydrophilic and will from hydrogen bonds with the water, forcing the hydrophobic heads towards th The fatty acid tails are forced together away from the water, and water can create hydrogen bonds with the pho Phospholipids are naturally attracted to each other, forcing phosphate heads to face the aqueous areas. The polar tails will be attracted to the water and the nonpolar heads will be attracted to each other. Hide question 11 feedback Correct n 12 2.5 / 2.
