The four levels of protein structure are distinguished from one another by the degree of complexity in the polypeptide chain. A single protein molecule may contain one or more of the protein structure types: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure. 1. Primary Structure: describes the unique order in which amino acids are linked together to form a protein.

2. Secondary Structure: refers to the coiling or folding of a polypeptide chain that gives the protein its 3-D shape. There are two types of secondary structures observed in proteins. One type is the alpha (α) helix structure. This structure resembles a coiled spring and is secured by hydrogen bonding in the polypeptide chain. The second type of secondary structure in proteins is the beta (β) pleated sheet. This structure appears to be folded or pleated and is held together by hydrogen bonding between polypeptide units of the folded chain that lie adjacent to one another

3. Tertiary Structure: refers to the comprehensive 3-D structure of the polypeptide chain of a protein.

4. Quaternary Structure: is the structure of a protein macromolecule formed by interactions between multiple polypeptide chains. Each polypeptide chain is referred to as a subunit. Proteins with quaternary structure may consist of more than one of the same type of protein subunit.

Most animals with backbones, vertebrates, have a similar body plan: skull, ribs, two pairs of limbs, tail. What does this sugges
daser333 [38]

The correct answer is E. Vertebrates are all related to a common ancestor

Explanation:

According to biology and evolution, organisms from different species but that share similarities in morphology (body structures) as well as in genetics often have a phylogenetic relationship which means they descend from the same organism or share a common ancestor. This applies to multiple taxonomical levels including classes such as mammals or birds as it has been proved each of this derived from a common ancestor. Therefore, the similarity in the body structure (morphology) in all mammals suggest vertebrates are related to a common ancestor and as they evolved from this, they share similarities not only in terms of morphology but also in genetics.

Which characteristic of an individual can one compare with organizational culture?
rodikova [14]

An individual’s personality is comparable to an organization’s culture.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The values that are followed by an organisation and their expectations about the behavior of its members refers to the organisation culture. It encapsulates the behavior of an individual in an organisation and his behavior with the other people and the society. The beliefs and the values that exits in an organisation refers to its culture.

Culture is very important for an organisation to project its image to the outside world. Thus, an organisations's culture can be viewed as the personality of an organisation. Thus, the traits of personality of an individual can be compared with the personality of an organisation which is its culture.
