STRUCTURE OF PROTEINS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Proteins that are roughly spherical and have a non-repetitive amino acid sequence are called
A
fibrous proteins
B
globular proteins
C
enzymatic proteins
D
storage proteins
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Globular proteins, the other major class, are soluble in aqueous media. In these proteins, the chains are folded so that the molecule as a whole is roughly spherical.

Detailed explanation-2: -In biochemistry, globular proteins or spheroproteins are spherical ("globe-like") proteins and are one of the common protein types (the others being fibrous, disordered and membrane proteins). Globular proteins are somewhat water-soluble (forming colloids in water), unlike the fibrous or membrane proteins.

Detailed explanation-3: -One of the most common protein shapes is spherical ("globe-like") proteins, also known as globular proteins or spheroproteins. Globular proteins, unlike fibrous or membrane proteins, are generally water-soluble (forming colloids in water).

Detailed explanation-4: -As evident by the above discussion, globular proteins have a spherical shape resembling a ball. It is due to the folding of amino acid chains onto themselves to form tertiary structures. The compact arrangement of amino acids within a molecule allows the rounded spherical shape of these proteins.
