Chapter 3.1, Problem 4C
Summary Introduction
To explain: The way in which the designation that a group is non-polar, polar, acidic, or basic is related to its hydrophilic or hydrophobic properties.
Introduction: An organic compound is defined as the chemical compound that has carbon and other elements. A

which of the following statements is correct regarding the affect of pH on the ionization of R groups in amino acids. Put yes or no next to each number.
1) at an acidic pH, amino groups in an R group tend to lonize by accepting a proton and have a positive charge2) at an acidic pH, carboxyl groups in an R group are likely to be in an unionized state.3) at an alkaline pH, amino groups in an R group have a tendency to remain unionized (and uncharged).4) at an alkaline pH, carboxyl groups in an R group have a tendency to lonize by loosing a hydrogen ion (H+)5) R groups that do not have an amino or carboxyl group do not ionize at pH of the environment changes.
What is meant by “polarity” of a polypeptide chain and by “polarity” of a chemical bond? How do the meanings differ?
What is misleading about the term hydrophobic bond? What drives the hydrophobic effect? How is it less correct to think about the attraction of hydrophobic groups than to consider the change in the water structure?

- Consider the following tetrapeptide, written in a sequence according to normal convention, from left to right: Residue 1 is acidic; Residue 2 is cysteine (an amino acid containing a CH2SH R-group); Residue 3 is proline (a large hydrophobic amino acid); Residue 4 is basic. Which of the following four general statements is TRUE regarding this tetrapeptide? Residue 2 belongs to the amino acid category known as "basic." 3 of these 4 responses are correct O This tetrapeptide does not have the ability to form a disulfide linkage with an identical tetrapeptide. The acidic residue (Residue #1) is at the amino terminus of this tetrapeptide. This tetrapeptide could be part of an alpha-helix, since the large size of the proline would not have any impact on the consistency of the spiral shape.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statement regarding the ends of polysaccharides are true? for heads up 2 and 4 are not correct .. just pick only one answer 1) All polysaccharides have one, and only one, reducing end. 2) Some polysaccharides may have no reducing end. 3) Some polysaccharides may have no non-reducing ends. 4) All polysaccharides have a N-glycosidic bond at their reducing ends. 5) Some polysaccharides may have a functional group other than a carbonyl group at their reducing ends.arrow_forwardWhat type of intermolecular forces exists between the side chains of each of the following pairs of amino acids? serine and threonine isoleucine and valine arginine and aspartic acid cysteine and cysteinearrow_forward
