- Is phenylalanine hydrophilic or hydrophobic? Explain why.arrow_forwardGlobular proteins are typically constructed from several layers of secondary structure, with a hydrophobic core and a hydrophilic surface. Is this true for a fibrous protein such as keratin?arrow_forwardis the structure glycerophospolipid or sphingophospolipid?arrow_forward
- Would you expect albumin to have a higher or lower proportion of free amino groups to free carboxyl groups than casein? Casein which is more soluble in acid, will it have more amino groups or more carboxyl groups?arrow_forwardWhat is characteristically distinct about the amino acid composition of Collagen? Why is it so tightly packed?arrow_forwardConsidering the formation of glycosidic linkages between monosaccharides, how many possible trisaccharides can be produced by combining glucose, mannose and galactose? How does this differ from the number of possibilities for a tripeptide composed of three different amino acids?arrow_forward
