6 7. Why don t cells rely more on disulfide bridges to stabilize the folding of proteins? a. Most proteins have no more room for additional disulfide bridges b. Disulfide bridges are too weak; proteins can get more stability from ionic forces c. Though strong, disulfide bridges put a strain on the backbone d. Disulfide bridges can only occur just after praline in the amino acid sequence e. They make the protein rigid and many proteins must change shape as they work 8.

(a), (b) and (c) There are no Graphics for this exam ANSWERS Module 3 Lab Worksheet Carbohydrates: 1. e, 2. c, 3. c, 4. b, 5. e, 6. b, 7. d Lipids: 1. b, 2. e, 3. e, 4. a, 5. a, 6. b, 7. d, 8. c Protein: 1. e, 2. b, 3. c, 4. a, 5. e, 6. a, 7. e, 8. a, 9. e A few Hints: Carbs Question 1. The chemical compound that contains sugar and stores hereditary information is DNA, which we will study further in the next unit. Carbs Question 3. Admittedly, the wording on this question is a little off, but, what is the least "intrusive" change you can do to a sugar and still make another, different sugar? (Hint, in the Disaccharides exercise take a look at the 3rd carbon of glucose and compare it to galactose). Protein question 2. The "backbone" in a protein is the NH2-C-COOH part of EVERY amino acid that connects one amino acid to another - and they are all the same (only the side chains of the different amino acids vary). So, changing an amino acid in the primary structure of a protein wouldn't (repeat, would NOT) change the backbone.
