Protein attached to some non protein group is called____________________?
Correct answer: D. Conjugated protein
- A. Derived protein
- B. Sample protein
- C. Proteoses
- D. Conjugated protein
Explanation
A conjugated protein contains a protein part combined with a non-protein component called a prosthetic group, such as a metal, carbohydrate or lipid. A derived protein is produced by partial breakdown of a simple or conjugated protein, so it does not describe attachment to a non-protein group.

About Classification of Proteins
Proteins are classified by composition as simple, conjugated and derived proteins, and by shape as fibrous or globular proteins. The topic relates these classes to examples such as albumin, keratin, collagen, haemoglobin and casein, while distinguishing structural proteins from proteins with transport, catalytic or regulatory roles.
