| What are proteins made from | Amino acids |
| What 4 elements do all proteins contain | Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen & Nitrogen |
| What bonds hold proteins together | Peptide bonds |
| What determines the structure of a protein | The order of amino acids determines the structure of a protein |
| What determines how a protein will work | The structure of a protein will determine how it works |
| What is a proteins "primary structure" | The order in which the amino acids are arranged in a protein chain is called the "primary structure" |
| What is the secondary structure of a protein | Some chains coil up or fold, the coils and pleats are the secondary structure |
| What are the coils and pleats in a protein held together by | Weak forces of chemical attraction or "Hydrogen Bonds" |
| Explain a proteins "tertiary structure" | The tertiary structure occurs when the chain of amino acids are folded into a ball like shape that's held together by a mixture of weak chemical bonds (hydrogen bonds) and stronger bonds (e.g Disulfate bonds) |
| Give an example of a "stronger bond" | Difulfate bonds |
| What structure is this | Tertiary structure |
| What structure is this | Primary |
| What structure is this | Secondary |
