Primary structure of protein arises due to which force?
Correct answer: B. Covalent bonding
- A. Hydrogen bonding
- B. Covalent bonding
- C. Debye forces
- D. Dipole-Dipole forces
Explanation
The primary structure, which is the sequence of amino acids. is held together by strong peptide bonds. A peptide bond is a type of covalent bond formed between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of the next.

About Macromolecules
Proteins are classified by shape, composition and structure, from primary amino acid sequence to secondary, tertiary and quaternary organisation, and their biological roles are linked to this structure. Enzymes are examined as protein biocatalysts, including active sites, substrate specificity, activation energy, cofactors and factors affecting activity.
