Answer:

Secondary level of protein structure

Explanation:

The proteins are formed of the monomer units called amino acids which bond with each other via peptide bond and form a linear peptide structure called the primary level structure of the protein.

The proteins to perform several functions in a cell undergoes structural conformation and attain the helical form called alpha helix due to the involvement of alpha carbon in bond formation and a pleated sheet called beta-pleated sheet due to the involvement of beta carbon. These structures are known as a secondary level of protein structure.

kari74 [83]

Answer:

(D) Enzymes can function only within living cells.

Explanation:

<em>Enzymes are biological molecules that are proteinous in nature and speed up the rate of biological reactions.</em>

Option B is true. Enzymes are very specific with regards to the reactions they take part in.

Option C is true. Some enzymes contain non-protein component that assist them in their functioning. These non-protein components are called co-factors.

Option E is true. Because enzymes are proteinous in nature, they can be destroyed/denatured by high temperatures.
