Question

The water soluble protein is:

Options
  1. a

    Fibrin

  2. b

    Albumin

  3. c

    Myosin

  4. d

    Collagen

Correct Answerb

Albumin

Detailed Solution

Step 1: Solubility Factors — Fibrous proteins (Fibrin, Myosin, Collagen) provide structural support and are insoluble in water.

Step 2: Globular Nature — Albumin is a globular protein that exists in a more compact, spherical form.

Step 3: Result — This classification makes it highly soluble in water because the hydrophobic side chains are buried inside. Correct option is (b).

Remember: Egg white contains albumin, which becomes insoluble (denatures) upon heating.
