MSU HNF 150 Exam 2 Questions With Correct
Answers 100% Verified.
Protein contains - Answer✔Hydrogen, Oxygen, Nitrogen
Protein - Answer✔compounds composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen and
arranged as strands of amino acids.
Amino acid side chains - Answer✔Valine - 3 carbon

can be used as is to build part of a growing protein
- Make another needed compound, such as the vitamin niacin
- Make another type of amino acid
- Convert to glucose and burned as energy or stored as glycogen

Polypeptide - Answer✔protein fragments of many (more than 10) amino acids bonded together
(Poly means "many").
Dipeptide - Answer✔protein fragments that are two amino acids long (di means "two")
Tripeptide - Answer✔protein fragments that are 3 amino acids long (tri means"three")
HCl - Answer✔a strong corrosive acid of hydrogen and chloride atoms, produced by the
stomach to assist in digestion. Denatures protein→ uncoils the strands
Electrolyte balance: - Answer✔the distribution of fluid and dissolved particles among body
compartments
Enzyme: - Answer✔proteins that facilitate chemical reactions without being changed in the
process; protein catalysts.
Edema: - Answer✔swelling of body tissue caused by leakage of fluid from the blood vessels;
seen in protein deficiency (among other conditions).
Limiting amino acid - Answer✔an essential amino acid that is present in dietary protein in an
insufficient amount, thereby limiting the body's ability to build protein.
7 Roles of Protein - Answer✔1. Supporting growth and maintenance
2. Building enzymes, hormones, and other compounds
3. Transport and reddit recognition proteins
4. Building antibodies
5. Maintaining acid base balance
6. Maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance
7. Energy (and energy storage)
Protein synthesis: - Answer✔the sequence of our protein determined by our genes
Where does chemical digestion of protein begin? - Answer✔In the stomach when acid
denatures the protein
The stomach lining is protected from the very strong acid of the stomach by: - Answer✔a coat
of mucus
About how many amino acids are considered to be essential amino acids? - Answer✔9
During protein formation, if an essential amino acid is missing, what can happen to the
remaining amino acids? - Answer✔They are used to create energy
