Alpha helix and Beta pleated sheet are examples of

A
Primary structure
B
Secondary structure
C
Teiary structure
D
Quaternary structure
High-Yield Explanation
Regions of ordered secondary structure arise when a series of aminoacyl residues adopt similar phi and psi angles. Extended segments of polypeptide (example, loops) can possess a variety of such angles. The angles that define the two most common types of secondary structure, the ` helix and the a sheet, fall within the lower and upper left-hand quadrants of a Ramachandran plot, respectively.
