Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which kind of shape do globular proteins take on?
A
Roughly linear shape
B
Rounded shape
C
Alpha helices
D
Beta pleated sheets
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Globular proteins are named for their approximately spherical shapes and are the most abundant proteins in nature.

Detailed explanation-2: -Globular proteins generally have a more compact and rounded shape and have functional roles (they do something)

Detailed explanation-3: -As evident by the above discussion, globular proteins have a spherical shape resembling a ball. It is due to the folding of amino acid chains onto themselves to form tertiary structures. The compact arrangement of amino acids within a molecule allows the rounded spherical shape of these proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -Globular proteins are round structures. Like their name, globular proteins have a round, spherical formation. This is because the hydrophobic parts of the protein fold inwards while the hydrophilic parts become arranged around the external surface. Globular proteins are water soluble.
