Which of the following best describes how amino acids affect the tertiary structure of a protein? The number of amino acids determines the tertiary structure of the protein.

Answer A: The number of amino acids determines the tertiary structure of the protein.
A

The interactions of the different R-groups with other R-groups and with their environment determine the tertiary structure of the protein.

Answer B: The interactions of the different R -groups with other R -groups and with their environment determine the tertiary structure of the protein.
B

The R-group of the last amino acid that is added to a growing polypeptide chain determines the next amino acid that is added to the chain.

Answer C: The R -group of the last amino acid that is added to a growing polypeptide chain determines the next amino acid that is added to the chain.
C

The sequence of the amino acids in the polypeptide chain determines the protein’s primary structure but has no effect on its tertiary structure.
