Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Are these statements about amino acids true or false?The primary structure of the protein is how the chains fold into
A
true
B
false
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -To reiterate, the primary structure of a protein is defined as the sequence of amino acids linked together to form a polypeptide chain. Each amino acid is linked to the next amino acid through peptide bonds created during the protein biosynthesis process.

Detailed explanation-2: -Correct answer: The primary structure of a protein involves the amino acid sequence in the polypeptide chain. The amino acids in this chain are held together by peptide bonds.

Detailed explanation-3: -The answer is c. it is usually branched. Statement C in the given choices is not a description of the primary structure of a protein. The primary structure of a protein is the amino acid sequence which is unique for each protein.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Sequence of Amino Acids in a Protein Determines Its Folded Structure. The specific order of amino acids in a protein is known as its primary structure. It is this sequence that determines the three-dimensional architecture of a protein.
