1. What is the difference between a protein's primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures? A. primary structure refers to the sequence of amino acids in a protein, while secondary structure refers to the way the protein folds into a threedimensional shape. Tertiary structure refers to the specific arrangement of the atoms in a protein, while quaternary structure refers to the overall shape of a protein. B. Secondary structure refers to the sequence of amino acids in a protein, \( \mathrm{w} \) C. Primary structure is a protein's amino acid sequence, while secondary structure is how it folds. Quaternary structure is a protein's atom arrangement, while tertiary structure is its form. D. Secondary structure is a protein's amino acid sequence, while primary structure is its three-dimensional shape. Quaternary structure is a protein's atom arrangement, while tertiary structure is its form.
