Questions and Answers

Which type of bond is responsible for stabilizing the primary structure of a protein?

  • Peptide bond (correct)
  • Hydrogen bond
  • Disulfide bond
  • Ionic interaction

What is the main difference between denaturation and degradation of proteins?

  • Denaturation affects the secondary structure, while degradation affects the tertiary structure.
  • Denaturation disrupts the quaternary structure, while degradation breaks disulfide bonds.
  • Denaturation unfolds the protein without affecting the primary structure, while degradation breaks down the primary structure. (correct)
