What is a fibrous protein that gives shape to an RBC plasma membrane?
spectrin
What determine the shape and function of a protein?
Conformation is what determines a protein's unique set of functional and otherwise shapes.
How does protein confirmation affect its function?
The shape, conformation, affect its function by determining what the shape is some proteins are long and fibrous : those form hair and form blood clots ... Some are globular and can function as enzymes which transport oxygen. The shape of a protein affects the function !
Is an enzyme a structural protein or functional protein?
Yes, enzymes are proteins and it is their sequence of amino acids (primary structure) that determines what kind of an enzyme it is and makes all the enzymes unique and it is the tertiary structure of enzymes that maintains their shape and give rise to the unique active site. When an enzyme is denatured, it loses its tertiary structure and therefore its shape.
Are enzymes still functional after losing their shape?
enzymes are still functional after losing their shape as they depend onn their shape

A denatured protein or DNA molecules has lost what?
It has lost its active 3D structure and therefore it is not functional anymore.
A denatured protein may re-form to its funtional shape when returned to its normal enviorntment What does that indicate about a protein's confirmation?
a denature protein may re-form to its functional shape when returned to its normal environment. what does that indicate about a protein's conformation? Proteins fold in natural environment (water) in a way that they are stable, but a non-polar solvent provides a very different environment, so the protein has to unfold and adopt a very different shape.

Yes, enzymes are proteins and it is their sequence of amino acids (primary structure) that determines what kind of an enzyme it is and makes all the enzymes unique and it is the tertiary structure of enzymes that maintains their shape and give rise to the unique active site. When an enzyme is denatured, it loses its tertiary structure and therefore its shape.
Are enzymes still functional after losing their shape?
enzymes are still functional after losing their shape as they depend onn their shape
Comparing Cells - size and shape relate to what?

What is the shape of fibrous colleges?
It's meant. To say collegen
Comparing cells size and shape are related to?
comparing cells size and shape relate to fruction
The arrangement of a polypeptide into a fibrous or globular shape is called its?
quaternary structure
How does DNA determine a protein's shape?
DNA determines a protein's shape by determining the sequence of the amino acids in a protein.
