elemental composition, spatial structure, size, electric charge, the hability to generate H2 bonds and chemical reactivity.
B
elemental composition, spatial structure, size, electric charge,
C
he hability to generate H2 bonds and chemical reactivity.
D
elemental composition, spatial structure, size, electric charge, the hability to generate H2 bonds
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The side chains (R-groups) differ in chemical properties. Some are polar, but uncharged. Some are polar and normally have a positive or negative charge in solution. Amino acids with polar side chains are said to be hydrophilic (water loving) because they form weak interactions with water molecules.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are three common secondary structures in proteins, namely alpha helices, beta sheets, and turns.

Detailed explanation-3: -The primary structure is comprised of a linear chain of amino acids. The secondary structure contains regions of amino acid chains that are stabilized by hydrogen bonds from the polypeptide backbone. These hydrogen bonds create alpha-helix and beta-pleated sheets of the secondary structure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Amino acids differ from each other with respect to their side chains, which are referred to as R groups. The R group for each of the amino acids will differ in structure, electrical charge, and polarity.
