  1. Question 1

    Q1. Hemoglobin is a functional protein that transports oxygen. Which structural level describes the assembly of its multiple polypeptide subunits into a single unit?

    • A) Folding of a single polypeptide chain
    • B) Aggregation of four polypeptide chains
    • C) Formation of alpha-helices and beta-sheets
    • D) Linear sequence of amino acids

    Answer: Aggregation of four polypeptide chains

    Explanation: Hemoglobin consists of four polypeptide chains (two alpha, two beta). Myoglobin is a single polypeptide and lacks quaternary structure.
