Which of the following statements regarding protein structure is FALSE?A) The primary structure is formed by covalent bonding between amino acid subunits.B) Secondary structures are formed only from hydrogen bonds.C) Tertiary structures are formed only from covalent bonds.D) Quaternary structures involved multiple polypeptides.

Respuesta :

Explanation:

I got B from the notes I just took in biology

The tertiary structures of an protein can have covalent bonds and metal bonds.

This means that option C is the one that reveals false information about the proteins.

Proteins are formed as follows:

  • Amino acids link together, forming a linear molecule that is the protein's primary structure.
  • This primary structure begins to form hydrogen bridges in its own composition, creating the secondary structure.
  • The secondary structure allows the formation of disulfide bridges, which are covalent bonds and, in special cases, allows the formation of metallic bonds between atoms. This is the tertiary structure.
  • The quaternary structure, in turn, is formed by the tangle of several tertiary structures, which form a three-dimensional molecule, which gives functionality to the protein.

Thus, we can conclude that the tertiary structure is not only formed by covalent bonds.
