Which of these macromolecules is most prevalent (by mass) in the environment? What particular challenge does this compound present for animals, and how do they overcome it?(brief response only)
a. Amylose
b. Cellulose
c. Protein
d. Fat
Homework Answers
Most prevalent macromolecule in the world is b. Cellulose
particul changes in animal is instead of cellulose there will be glycogen in the body
because animals cannot digest cellulose
and it is hard to breakdown

How does the hydrophobic effect influence protein folding? In an aqueous environment, nonpolar portions of the molecule A) are generally exposed to solvent and interact effectively with water. B) interact with polar portions in the interior of the protein. C) can be placed on the surface of the molecule only if hydrogen bonded to water. D) are found in the interior of the protein, away from water, which preserves the entropy of water in solution.

4. (Challenge) You are purifying a protein from the brain of patients with an unusual type of dementia triggered by a coronavirus and you hypothesize that this protein may be a signature molecule of this type of dementia. To pursue this hypothesis, you collect brain tissue from patients post mortem, do differential centrifugation, density gradient centrifugation, CM (carboxymethyl cellulose) ion exchange chromatography and gel filtration. You then assess the purity of your protein using both native and SDS gel electrophoresis. The...
