Solution

The correct option is C Amino acids
Proteins are building blocks of the body. The proteins are made up of amino acids. The amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds to form a protein. The peptide bond is formed by the linkage of the carboxyl group of one amino acids with the amino group of the amino acids. On heating, the peptide bonds break and the protein gets denatured as heat increases the kinetic energy of the molecules and leads to breaking of the bonds.
So, the correct answer is option B.

Q. A linear arrangement of amino acids linked by peptide bonds, forms the _____ structure of protein.

Enzymes are proteins. Proteins are long chains of amino acids linked to each other by peptide bonds. Amino acids have many functional groups in their structure.

These functional groups are many of them at least, ionisable. As they are weak acids and bases in chemical nature, this iohisation is influenced by pH of the solution. For many enzymes, activity is influenced by surrounding pH. This is depicted in the curve below, explain briefly.
