The correct answer is "fiber".

Fiber is actually indigestible food products such as cellulose that aids in the digestion and bowel function. Fiber, first of all, limits the absorption of extra fats therefore preventing hypertriglyceridemia and eventually cerebrovascular and cardiovascular consequences. Fiber also limits glucose absorption controlling type II diabetes. Lastly, fiber also acts as protection in the colon by increasing the transit times of potentially carcinogenic substances found in food, therefore preventing colon cancer.

Which statement best explains why correct protein folding is critical in the transmembrane protein shown above?
amid [387]

The statement 'interactions of the hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids help to anchor the protein in the membrane' explains why protein folding is critical. This process is fundamental for the function of transmembrane proteins.

Protein folding refers to the process by which a polypeptide (i.e., a protein) adopts its final tridimensional 3D shape (conformation).

In a protein, some amino acids contain hydrophilic R groups, whereas other amino acids contain hydrophobic R groups.

During protein folding, hydrophobic amino acids are arranged so they can interact with the long chains of the fatty acids in the internal region of the lipid bilayer, whereas hydrophilic amino acids are arranged so they interact with water on the surface of the cell membrane.
