Question

complete the table to compare the structures of a protein and dna.

proteindna
has primary, secondary, and tertiary structures
has hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases

Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  1. Proteins are composed of amino - acids linked by peptide bonds. DNA is made of nucleotides and does not have peptide bonds.
  2. Proteins have primary (amino - acid sequence), secondary (alpha - helices and beta - sheets), and tertiary (3 - D folding) structures. DNA has a double - helix structure and is not described in terms of these protein - specific structures.
  3. Hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases are characteristic of DNA (A - T, G - C base - pairing), not proteins.

Answer:

ProteinDNA
Has primary, secondary, and tertiary structuresYesNo
Has hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous basesNoYes
