SQUADS #3 Learning Intentions - Today, I am going to address these College Readiness Standards in Reading: 1.Sequential, Comparative, and Cause-Effect Relationships Meaning of Words Supporting Details Main Ideas and Author’s Approach Success Criteria – This is not your normal ACT Reading or Science Passage. Instead, it is a mixture of both to help you prepare (one last time) for the ACT. The first four questions will be Reading- based. The second four questions will be Science-based. Challenge yourself and your group, and you will succeed! “11 th Grade Reading & Science” CPW

Quick Note! Today’s questions are based on the printed passage you will receive shortly. After reading your passage individually or as a group, choose the best answer to each question. You may refer to the passages as often as necessary. You have 4 Minutes to read your passage!

First, the Reading questions…

11 th Grade Reading #1. Within the passage, which of the following structure of orders is the best explanation of a protein’s shape? A. It is described by 3 levels of structure. B. It has a primary and quaternary structure. C. It has a primary, secondary tertiary and quaternary structure. D. It is described by 4 levels of structure.

11 th Grade Reading #2. When referring to a protein’s ability to adopt different shapes, which of the following best describes a protein that is nearly entirely unfolded? A. renatured protein B. denatured protein C. random denatured coil D. random coil

11 th Grade Reading #3. According to the article, what is the protein’s active shape determined by? A. its biologically functional shape B. its primary structure C. the lowest energy structure D. its individual process of synthesis

11 th Grade Reading #4. What is the main purpose or idea behind this passage? A. to introduce and offer two unique perspectives on protein shape B. to define, detail and offer cohesive discussions on polypeptides C. to explain the uniqueness of a polypeptide in comparison to hydrogen bonding D. to create animosity and intrigue between two scientists

First, the Science questions…

11 th Grade Science #5. A student has 100 balls. The balls are various colors. The student chooses 15 balls and aligns them in a row. The spatial order in which the balls were placed corresponds to which of the following levels of structure in a protein? A. Primary structure B. Secondary structure C. Tertiary structure D. Quaternary structure

11 th Grade Science #6. Suppose proteins are almost completely denatured and then allowed to renature in a way that allows them to have their lowest-energy shapes. Which of the following statements about the proteins is most consistent with the information presented in the passage? A. If Scientist 1 is correct, all of the proteins will have their active shapes. B. If Scientist 1 is correct, all of the proteins will have shapes different than their active shapes. C. If Scientist 2 is correct, all of the proteins will have their active shapes. D. If Scientist 2 is correct, all of the proteins will have shapes different than their active shapes.

11 th Grade Science #7. Scientist 2’s views differ from Scientist 1’s views in that only Scientist 2 believes that a protein’s active shape is partially determined by its: A. quaternary structure. B. amino acid sequence. C. process of synthesis. D. tertiary folding patterns.

11 th Grade Reading #8. Scientist 2 says that a protein may be trapped in a moderately high-energy shape. Which of the following findings, if true, could be used to counter this argument? A. Once a protein has achieved its tertiary structure, all of the folding patterns at the local level are stable. B. Enough energy is available in the environment to overcome local energy barriers, driving the protein to its lowest-energy shape. C. During protein synthesis, the secondary structure of a protein is determined before the tertiary structure is formed. D. Proteins that lose their tertiary structure or quaternary structure also tend to lose their biological functions.
