1. Identify a polar bond to a carbon, and a nonpolar bond to a carbon in the arginine molecule
below.
2. What kind of bonds does water have? Why? (Hint: somehow relate it to electronegativity.)
3. How is pH level determined? Relate [H+] to pH level.
4. Acid vs. Base

1. Determine the functional groups in this amino acid (amino,
carboxyl, side chain). Is this amino acid
acidic/basic/uncharged polar/nonpolar? How do you
know?
2. Protein Bonding
a. _____________ reactions form polymers from monomers, which release water to form a
__________ bond in proteins. The reverse reaction called _____________ breaks polymers
apart by adding water.
b. Peptide bonds form between __________ and ___________ functional groups.
3. This is an image of an aquaporin protein; it lets water into the cell through a tunnel.
a. What structure does it have?
b. Determine whether polar and nonpolar amino acids would be located on the inside
or outer layer of the structure.
