Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During denaturation ____ [a] ____ and ____ [b] ____ structures are destroyed but ____ [c] ____ structure remains intact.
A
secondary, b. tertiary, c. primary
B
primary, b. secondary, c. tertiary
C
tertiary, b. primary, c. secondary
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During the denaturation of proteins, the secondary and tertiary structures get destroyed and only the primary structure is retained.

Detailed explanation-2: -Denaturation breaks down the protein’s secondary and tertiary structures while leaving the fundamental (primary) structure intact.

Detailed explanation-3: -Denaturation destroys the primary structure of the protein, and the protein breaks down to monomers. Different amino acids are substituted into the sequence, so the protein’s properties change.

Detailed explanation-4: -Proteins are complex molecules made of amino acids. Denaturation of proteins occurs when the secondary and tertiary structure of a protein is altered and the protein is no longer capable of performing its function.
