Consider the complete enzymatic degradation of three distinct biological molecules: Insulin, Inulin, and a single-stranded RNA, into their respective monomers. Identify the specific types of covalent bonds that must be predominantly cleaved to break down their primary polymer structures, in the correct respective order.

Options

  1. AGlycosidic bond, Peptide bond, Phosphodiester bond
  2. BPeptide bond, Ester bond, Phosphodiester bond
  3. CPhosphodiester bond, Glycosidic bond, Peptide bond
  4. DPeptide bond, Glycosidic bond, Phosphodiester bond

Correct answer

D. Peptide bond, Glycosidic bond, Phosphodiester bond

Step-by-step solution

Insulin is a proteinaceous hormone, meaning its primary structure consists of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. Inulin is a polysaccharide (specifically, a polymer of fructose), so its monomers are linked by glycosidic bonds. RNA is a nucleic acid (a polymer of ribonucleotides), and its successive nucleotides are linked together by phosphodiester bonds. Therefore, the correct sequence of bonds that must be cleaved is Peptide bond, Glycosidic bond, and Phosphodiester bond. Answer: Peptide bond, Glycosidic bond, P
