Get every question correct to pass.

1. Why can peptides produce very different biological effects?

Different peptides can interact with different receptors and signalling pathwaysEvery peptide produces the same signalOnly the vial size mattersOnly the number of amino acids matters

2. Why are peptides especially interesting as biological tools?

The body already uses peptide signalling extensivelyThey all act only on metabolismThey do not interact with receptorsThey are simply another name for vitamins

3. Which is a well-known example of peptide signalling producing a major clinical effect?

Insulin and GLP-1-based medicinesTable saltVitamin C aloneCreatine only

4. Which group contains genuine areas of peptide research?

Recovery, skin/collagen, metabolism, cognition and mitochondrial biologyOnly bone densityOnly sleepOnly digestion

5. What is the most useful question to ask when learning about a new peptide?

What target or pathway does this specific peptide influence?Is every peptide the same?How large is the vial?Does its name sound impressive?
