Ionic and covalent bonds help arrange atoms into unique structures for proteins like hemoglobin. Why is this necessary? (1 point

)
a. The ionic bonds alone in a protein help determine its function

b. The structure of a protein allows it to carry out its unique function.

c. The bonds help hold the protein together but are unrelated to the function

d. The structure of the protein allows it to carry out whatever function is needed the most

Ionic and covalent bonds help arrange atoms into unique structures for proteins like hemoglobin. This is necessary because:

<u>B. The structure of a protein allows it to carry out its unique function.</u>

A covalent bond is one that comes together as a result of two atoms both use an electron.

An ionic bond is a bond that is formed when two oppositely charged ions come together in a compound.

As a result of this, these two bonds helps to arrange atoms into unique structures because they help to link amino acids in a protein chain like hemoglobin and they help to determine the structure of this protein.

Therefore, the correct answer is option B
