Which of the following statements about proteins is FALSE?
Select one:
a. The steps involved in building protein are: transcription, translation, and protein folding
b. Proteins have up to five different levels of structures, making them more complex than carbohydrates
or lipids.
c. An enzyme called pepsin breaks the peptide bond between amino acids during digestion. Protein
digestion takes longer than carbohydrate digestion, but shorter than fat digestion.
d. Amino acids are joined together by a special chemical bond called a peptide bon
e. The peptide bond forms between the carboxylic acid group of one amino acid with the amino group of
another, and releases a molecule of water.
f. Heat, acid, high salt concentrations, alcohol, and mechanical agitation can cause proteins to denature
and lose their function. Denaturation is when a protein’s complicated folded structure unravels back
into a single strand of amino acids.

Which of the following statements about saturated fats and cholesterol is FALSE?
Select one:
a. Normal dietary cholesterol intake has a small effect on overall blood cholesterol because the body will
stop its own synthesis of the cholesterol and instead use the cholesterol obtained through
food.
b. High-fiber foods are beneficial to eat because they slow down cholesterol absorption and consuming
diets high in whole grains and fiber have been associated with a decreased risk for cardiovascular
disease.
c. Monounsaturated fats are beneficial to your health because they lower bad cholesterol, but also lower
good cholesterol.
d. Hyperlipidemia is when there is increased amounts of lipids, triacylglycerols, and cholesterol in the
blood.
