Cellular processes are carried out by many different types of molecules, mostly proteins. The function of each protein molecule depends on its shape which, in turn, is determined by the protein's specific sequence of

Answer:

Hope this helps

Step-by-step explanation:

Protein function is directly related to the structure of that protein. A protein's specific shape determines its function. If the three-dimensional structure of the protein is altered because of a change in the structure of the amino acids, the protein becomes denatured and does not perform its function as expected.

Step-by-step explanation:

Proteins are different from one another primarily in the sequence of amino acids, which usually results in proteins folding and determines its activity. A linear chain of amino acid is called a polypeptide chain. Amino acids are the structural and functional unit of proteins.

The sequence and the number of amino acids determines the shape, size and function of the proteins. Each amino acid is interconnected with other amino acid by a covalent bond, which is also known as peptide bond.
