The PRIMARY structure of a protein is: formed by alpha helices and beta sheets formed by multiple polypeptide chains binding to one another formed by dehydration reactions that join amino acids together all of the above are true The PRIMARY structure of a protein is: Solution option C. The primrary structure of a protein is formed by dehydration reactions that join amino acids together. dehydration reaction removes H2O between two amino acids to form peptide bond. this is the native primary structure that consists of a linear chain of amino acids. alpha and beta structures are secondary structures. tertiary structure involves the interaction between different polypeptide chains..
