Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The ____ structure of a protein is the sequence of its amino acids.
A
primary
B
secondary
C
tertiary
D
quartenary
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: -The sequence of amino acids in a protein is called its primary structure. The secondary structure is determined by the dihedral angles of the peptide bonds, the tertiary structure by the folding of protein chains in space.

Detailed explanation-3: -The significance of the unique sequence, or order, of amino acids, known as the protein’s primary structure, is that it dictates the 3-D conformation the folded protein will have. This conformation, in turn, will determine the function of the protein.
