nucleotide
Tell me the difference between independent and dependent variables.
You can change the independent variable, but the dependent variable relies on the independent variable.

Name the structural levels of proteins and describe them.
Primary structure: Polypeptide - chain of amino acids
Secondary structure: Alpha helix, beta-pleated sheets
Tertiary structure: The chain becomes twisted like a ball of yarn
Quaternary structure: The polypeptide chains become intertwined with other chains like multiple balls of yarn being mushed together.
