Question

Heamoglobin is an example of simple proteins.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

(a) Simple proteins:- On hydrolysis they yield only the amino acids and occasional small carbohydrate compounds. Examples are: albumins, globulins, glutelins, albuminoids, histones and protamines.

(b) Conjugated proteins:- These are simple proteins combined with some non-protein material in the body. Examples are: nucleoproteins, glycoproteins, phosphoproteins, haemoglobins and lecithoproteins.

So, the correct option is 'False'.
