Differentiate primary, secondary and tertiary structure of protein.

1.	Differentiate primary, secondary and tertiary structure of protein.
Answer» I. In primary structure specific sequence of amino acids are joined by covalent bonds. II. secondary structure is responsible for the shape of a protein. α-helix and β-pleated in which polypeptide chains have peptide linkages. III. tertiary structure represents overall folding of polypeptide chain and give rise to the fibrous or globular molecular shape.
