Biomolecules Worksheet

This document is a worksheet about cell structures and biological molecules. It contains questions about labeling structures in diagrams of cells and identifying biological molecules. It also contains questions that require explaining concepts such as: 1) The roles of centrioles in animal cells, which include forming spindle fibers during cell division and helping organize microtubules. 2) The secondary structure of proteins, which involves regular patterns of alpha helices and beta sheets, and the tertiary structure, which is the overall 3D shape of the protein formed from interactions between R groups. 3) How a single change in the DNA coding for an enzyme like lysozyme could lead to formation of an insoluble protein with a different structure due to

2. Fig. 3.1 shows seven biological molecules, labelled D to K.
3. The molecular structure of the first two amino acids of lysozyme, lysine and valine, is shown below.
Use the space to show how these amino acids become linked in a condensation reaction.

(b) Proteins, such as the enzyme lysozyme, have a secondary structure and a tertiary structure.
(i) Describe the secondary and tertiary structure of an enzymatic protein, such as lysozyme.

(c) Some people have a rare disease caused by a single change in the DNA nucleotide sequence of the gene
coding for lysozyme. The change leads to the formation of an insoluble protein that has a different structure to
the normal soluble lysozyme molecule.

Suggest how a change in the gene can lead to the differences observed between the normal lysozyme and the
changed lysozyme.
