Question

Answer should be 3-5 sentences and use vocabulary from the chapter.

Option 1: Based on what you know about how macromolecules are broken up, why is it important to drink liquids with a meal?

Option 2: What happens to a protein when it is denatured? How would this affect biologically active proteins, like enzymes?

Answer 1

Option 1. Macromolecules are the corbohydrates, lipids and nucleic acids. Thease are the condensed products of ester and acids. To break down of the the macromolecules it is necessary to bring out the hydrolysis of the macromolecules. Hence water can do the hydrolysis of these macromolecules and break down it into acid and Esters.

Option 2)

Ans: Denaturation is process in which the disruption of the alpha helix sheet and beta helix sheet occurs in the proteins due to the heating or acidic pH continuing solvant and brings out secondary, tertiary and quaternary protein chnage.

Due to this change it brings out the conformational change in the proteins and receptor are unable to binds. So the enzymes could not bind to protein receptors and decreses the biological activity.
