Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary structure of a protein?
Correct Answer: Linear sequence of amino acids
  • Step 1: Understand that proteins are made up of smaller units called amino acids.
  • Step 2: Know that these amino acids are linked together in a specific order to form a chain.
  • Step 3: Recognize that the primary structure of a protein is this specific order of amino acids.
  • Step 4: Remember that this sequence is important because it determines how the protein will fold and function.
