2. Read through the following passage about protein structure, then write on the dottedlines the most appropriate word or words to complete the passage.

Proteins are composed of long chains of monomers called ..............................................which are linked together by ............................................... bonds. These bonds are

formed by ................................................ reactions between adjacent monomers. The

Prokaryotic cell

primary structure of a protein is the specific sequence of monomers in a polypeptide

chain and determines the secondary and tertiary protein structure. The secondary/

structure of a protein may be a coil, known as an .................................................which is held in shape by ................................................ bonds between different

monomers in the chain.

7. A procedure was carriedout to separatehe major organelles within liver cells. Thisinvolved breaking up (homogenising) liver tissue in an icecold salt solution which hadthe same water potential as the cell cytoplasm.

Ultracentrifugation was then used to separate the organelles. Ultracentrifugation is aprocess that separates materials of different densities by spinning them in a tube at

different speeds. The denser materialsare forced to the bottom of the tube as a pellet,while less dense materials remain nearer to the top of the tube in liquid known as the

supematant.

The flow chart below summarises the steps involved in this procedure.

Liver tissue broken upin icecold salt solution
