  1. Question 1

    Q1. A protein folds into a complex three-dimensional shape maintained by disulfide bridges, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions. Which level of organization is this?

    • A) Secondary structure
    • B) Tertiary structure
    • C) Primary structure
    • D) Quaternary structure

    Answer: Tertiary structure

    Explanation: Tertiary structure is the final 3D shape maintained by disulfide bridges; secondary structure involves simple folding like alpha-helices via hydrogen bonds.
