Multiple dropdown selections

Assign each of these as true or false.   False Proteins primary structure is made up of weak intermolecular forces. False Secondary structure connects side-chains by H-bonds. True Tertiary structure depends on H-bonds, covalent bonds, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic forces among other interactions. True Peptide chains of known structure are listed from N-terminal to C-terminal and separated by hyphens. True Peptide bonds are amide bonds. False Primary, secondary, and tertiary structure are highly stable and not easily disrupted.

Step-by-Step Analysis
Question restatement: You are to assign each of the following statements as True or False. Statement 1: 'False Proteins primary structure is made up of weak intermolecular forces.' - Why this is false: The primary structure of a protein is the linear sequence of amino acids connected by covalent peptide bonds. These bonds are strong covalent linkages, not weak intermolecular forces. Weak intermolecular forces (like hydrogen bonds, Van der Waals, electrostatics) play roles in higher-order structures, not in defining the prima......Login to view full explanation
