Concept introduction:
Proteins are the polymers of amino acids also known as polypeptides. They are formed by the peptide bonding between two acids formed by the elimination of the water molecule between the carboxylic acid and amine group leading to the formation of the amide group. Various structure or forms of the proteins are found in the body.

Answer to Problem 60E
The statement “Sulfur-sulfur bonds called disulfide linkages are important in the tertiary protein structure of many proteins” is a true statement.
Explanation of Solution
The tertiary structure of the proteins is curling of the secondary protein structure on itself. The stability of the tertiary structure of many tertiary proteins is enhanced by the sulfur-sulfur linkages between the sulfur-containing amino acids, for example, Cysteine.
Therefore, the statement “Sulfur-sulfur bonds called disulfide linkages are important in the tertiary protein structure of many proteins” is true.

Answer to Problem 60E
The statement “An enzyme substrate is the product of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction” is a false statement.
Explanation of Solution
The substrate in an enzyme-catalyzed reaction is the reactant reacting with the enzyme to give a back product. Substrate attaches to the active site of the enzyme for the catalysis. Therefore, the statement “An enzyme substrate is the product of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction” is a false statement.
The statement “An enzyme substrate is the product of an enzyme-catalyzed reaction” is a false statement.
(d)

Concept introduction:
Carbohydrates are classified as the compounds that are aldehydes or ketone containing two or more

Answer to Problem 60E
The statement “Sucrose is a glucose-fructose combination” is a true statement.
Explanation of Solution
The disaccharide is the combination of two monosaccharides may be identical or different. Sucrose is one of the most famous examples of disaccharides. It is the combination of two monosaccharide units glucose and fructose. Therefore, the statement “Sucrose is a glucose-fructose combination” is true.
The statement “Sucrose is a glucose-fructose combination” is a true statement.

Interpretation:
Whether the statement “Fats and oils are distinguished by their
Concept introduction:
Lipids are the water-insoluble compounds found in the living organisms. Lipids are parted into three classes (1) Fats, oils and phospholipids, (2) waxes, and (3) steroids.
All these compounds are insoluble in polar solvents like water because of the large presence of hydrophobic groups in them.

Answer to Problem 60E
The statement “Fats and oils are distinguished by their state of matter at room temperature” is a true statement.
Explanation of Solution
Fats and oils are the triesters of long-chain carboxylic acids known as fatty acids. The ester is formed from simple alcohol glycerol. The fats and oils are also referred to as triacylglycerols. The fats at room temperature are solid while the oils are liquid at room temperature. Therefore, the statement “Fats and oils are distinguished by their state of matter at room temperature” is true.
The statement “Fats and oils are distinguished by their state of matter at room temperature” is a true statement.
(i)
Interpretation:
Whether the statement “Steroids have three cyclopentane rings and one cyclohexane ring fused” is true or false is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
Lipids are the water-insoluble compounds found in the living organisms. Lipids are parted into three classes (1) Fats, oils and phospholipids, (2) waxes, and (3) steroids.
All these compounds are insoluble in polar solvents like water because of the large presence of hydrophobic groups in them.

Answer to Problem 60E
The statement “Steroids have three cyclopentane rings and one cyclohexane ring fused” is a false statement.
Explanation of Solution
Steroids contain a four ring fused system. Three are six carbon and one is five carbon ring. Six carbon ring is known as cyclohexane and five carbon ring is known as cyclopentane. Therefore, the statement “Steroids have three cyclopentane rings and one cyclohexane ring fused” is false.
The structure of one of the steroids cholesterol is shown below.

Answer to Problem 60E
The statement “Nucleic acid monomers are called nucleotides” is a true statement.
Explanation of Solution
Nucleic acids are the polymer of nucleotides. Nucleotides are phosphate and base-sugar combination. Nucleotides contain two types of sugars in them one is ribose sugar and other is deoxyribose sugar.
Therefore, the statement “Nucleic acid monomers are called nucleotides” is true.
