Proteins are polymers composed of repeating units of amino acids, linked via peptide bonds (bonds between the amine and carboxyl groups of the adjacent amino acids). All proteins have a primary, secondary and tertiary structure and some, such as haemoglobin, have a quaternary structure.
Primary structure of the proteins are the sequence of amino acids and their order. The "R" regions of the amino acids determine the proteins secondary tertiary and quaternary structures.
In the secondary structure, the protein folds into either an alpha helix or a beta pleated sheet. This occurs due to hydrogen bonding between the "R" group of the amino acids.
The tertiary structure gives the protein its 3D shape. Here it is folded further and more bonds (such as disulphide bonds) also form.
In the quaternary structure, prosthetic groups (e.g. a haem group for haemoglobin) is added. If the protein has more than one protein chains, here the chains join to form the final protein.
Answer:
- A star’s final stages of life depend on its mass
- Stars die when they run out of fuel
Explanation:
Stars die differently when their core can no longer fuse atoms, depending on their solar masses. The very big stars are able to burn helium into carbon and some able to fuse even carbon. The big stars die to form neutron stars and supernovas. Stars of low solar masses die out by forming white dwarfs.
They act as instructions for making protein molecules...

Answer:
options B, E and F
Explanation:
A damage to the medulla oblongata is usually fatal and can also lead to death because it controls vital autonomic functions in the body which includes breathing and heart rate.
The Broca's area is associated with language production and damage to this area can lead to inability to express language (Broca’s aphasia).
A blow to the back of the head might affect the occipital lobe that is associated with visual co-ordinations. Thus damage to this area might not affect the gustatory cortex as this is found in the region of the frontal lobe and not the occipital lobe.
The primary motor cerebral cortex on the left side of the brain controls movement of the right side of the body, and vice-versa, the right motor cortex controls movement of the left side of the body.
It doesn’t stop growing, it just grows more slowly due to less sunlight, rain and the cold temperature.
