Question

Sort the following words or phrases as descriptions or examples of fibrous proteins, globular proteins, or both. Exhibit primary protein structure; intermediate filaments; myoglobin; polymers of amino acids; soluble in water; insoluble in water; function as structural proteins in the cell; some function as enzymes; structure is somewhat spherical; structure is rod-like

Answer 1

Polymers of amino acids can be both fibrous as well as globular protein. Hemoglobin is a globular but the collagen is the fibrous protein both being the amino acids.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Soluble in water: globular protein is soluble in water.

• intermediate filaments: fibrous protein

• Insoluble in water: fibrous protein is insoluble in water.

• function as structural proteins in the cell: fibrous protein.

• some function as enzymes: globular protein.

• structure is somewhat spherical; globular protein.

• structure is rod-like: fibrous protein
