Question

The body cells of scorpions have proteins that connect together. In one scorpion, the structure of the proteins in the body cells changed, but the amount of that type of protein in the cell stayed the same. What happened to the function of that type of protein?
Responses

a
The changed protein connects differently, but its function doesn’t change.
The changed protein connects differently, but its function doesn’t change.

b
The changed protein connects differently, so its function changes.
The changed protein connects differently, so its function changes.

c
The changed protein connects in the same way, but its function changes.
The changed protein connects in the same way, but its function changes.

d
The amount of that type of protein stayed the same, so its function doesn’t change.

Answer 1

b

Explanation: Protein function depends on its shape/structure. If the structure changes, it will connect differently and its function will change even though the amount stays the same.
