Question

as a group, also talk about what this molecule is and what the circled region is. if another region were circled, how would your answer change. a. which is true of this entire molecule? it is the secondary structure of a polypeptide it contains ionic bonds it contains six amino acids it contains a sulfhydryl group it contains glycosidic bonds as a group, discuss why the wrong answers are wrong. if you had a similar molecule, how

Explanation:

The molecule shown is a polypeptide. The peptide - bonds (-CO - NH -) link amino acids together. By counting the peptide - bonds, we can determine the number of amino acids. There are five peptide - bonds, so there are six amino acids. It is not a secondary structure (which involves alpha - helices or beta - sheets). There are no ionic bonds visible, no sulfhydryl groups (-SH), and no glycosidic bonds (which link sugar molecules).

Answer:

It contains six amino acids
