Each protein has specific properties which are determined by the:
Correct answer: D. Number and specific sequence of amino acids
- A. Number of amino acids
- B. Specific sequence of the amino acids
- C. Shape of the amino acids
- D. Number and specific sequence of amino acids
Explanation
At primary structural level any change in the number and sequence of amino acids changes shape and properties of protein as well. Sickle cell hemoglobin is its best example where only glutamic acid have been replaced by valine and as a consequence its O2 carrying capacity is affected.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
