The function of a protein is dependent upon the shape into which the chain of amino acids folds. Many noncovalent interactions a
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer: c). No; while the noncovalent bonds determine the shape of a protein, the peptide bonds are required to hold the amino acids together.

Explanation: Peptide bonds is a type of bond that covalently joins two or more amino acid molecules through a substituted amide linkage. Peptide bond is formed by the removal of the elements of water from the alpha carboxyl group of one amino acid and the alpha-amino group of another amino acid. When two amino acids molecules are joined by peptide bond, the resulting molecule is called a dipeptide, when three amino acids molecules are linked by two peptide bonds, a tripeptide is formed. When a few amino acids are joined by peptide bonds, the structure is called an oligopeptide, when many amino acids are joined, the product is called a polypeptide.

Since the enzyme breaks the peptide bonds, it means that the protein has been broken down into its constituent amino acid, therefore the protein has lost its primary structure and therefore will no longer retain its shape.

- Adrenal glande : Produce hormones that help the body control blood sugar, burn protein and fat, react to stressors, and regular blood pressure.

- Pineal body/gland : Secretes the melatonin hormone which may help regulate the wake-sleep cycle of the body.

- Reproductive glands : Main source of sex hormones for males and females.

- Pancreas : Has digestive and hormonal functions. One part of the pancreas called the exocrine, secures digestive enzymes. While the other part of the pancreas called the endocrine, secretes hormones called insulin and glucagon. Overall, these hormones regulate the level of glucose in the blood.
