Question

During the denaturation process, which protein structure remain undamaged?

• A. Both secondary and tertiary structures
• B. Primary structure only
• C. Only secondary structure
• D. Only tertiary structure

Answer 1

The correct option is B

Primary structure only

The correct option is B.

The explanation for the correct option:

1. Denaturation is a biological process that alters a protein's molecular structures.
2. Denaturation breaks down the protein's secondary and tertiary structures while leaving the fundamental (primary) structure intact.

Final Answer: Only the primary structure of the protein remains intact during denaturation.
