Albumin is a protein that is found in eggs. Which of the following describes the structure of albumin?
Choose 1
A molecule containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio
B
A chain of amino acids folded and twisted into a molecule
Three fatty acids attached to one glycerol molecule
D
A series of nitrogenous bases attached to a sugar-phosphate backbone

The statement 'a chain of amino acids folded and twisted into a molecule' describes the structure of albumin (Option B).

Proteins are macromolecules composed of a long sequential chain of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.All proteins must be twisted and folded by a cellular mechanism called protein folding, which becomes an inactive polypeptide chain into a functionally active protein.Protein folding modifies the tridimensional (3D) conformation of a protein in order to become it into a biologically active molecule that performs specific functions (e.g., an enzyme with catalytic functions).

In conclusion, the statement 'a chain of amino acids folded and twisted into a molecule' describes the structure of albumin (Option B).

If these are the missing choices: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin.b. determine body temperature by touching the patient's hands and feet.c. skin temperature will tell you very little about this patient's condition or well-being.d. the patient's skin temperature and color will likely be warm and red.my answer is: a. to determine skin temperature, place the back of your hand against the patient's skin. using the back of the hand to check for temperature rather than the palm is more effective because the back of the hand has more nerves that can feel and transmit the temperature than the palm.
