Which amino acid contributes to the yellow color of some proteins?
Tyrosine, with its aromatic phenol side chain, can contribute to protein coloration due to its light-absorbing properties.
Which nucleic acid forms a cloverleaf structure?
Transfer RNA (tRNA) has a cloverleaf secondary structure due to intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
Which nucleic acid base is a pyrimidine with a methyl group?
Thymine, a pyrimidine base in DNA, has a methyl group (-CH₃) attached to its ring structure.
What type of structure is disrupted during protein denaturation?
Denaturation disrupts the secondary and tertiary structures of proteins due to the breaking of hydrogen bonds and other interactions, while the primary structure remains intact.
How many hydrogen bonds are formed between adenine and thymine in DNA?
Adenine and thymine form two hydrogen bonds in DNA, contributing to base pairing stability.
Which enzyme hydrolyzes sucrose into glucose and fructose?
Invertase (also called sucrase) catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose into glucose and fructose.
Which monosaccharide is found in RNA?
Ribose, a five-carbon sugar, is the monosaccharide component of RNA nucleotides.
Which vitamin enhances the absorption of iron in the intestine?
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) reduces Fe³⁺ to Fe²⁺, improving iron absorption in the gut.
Which monosaccharide forms a pentaacetate when reacted with acetic anhydride?
Glucose, with five -OH groups in its open chain form, reacts with acetic anhydride to form a pentaacetate, confirming its structure.
Which of the following is a reducing disaccharide?
