Question 11

secondary structure of protein

Answer 11

fanned or twisted

hydrogen bonding

Question 12

Answer 12

fold forming specific shapes (bending and folding)

Question 13

quaternary

Answer 13

two or more polypeptides are assembled to form protein molecules

Question 14

denatured protein

Answer 14

protein is heated causing secondary and tertiary to break down
