The answer is as follows:

$\square$ the shape of a globular protein The answer is the third one (3): tertiary Explanation: The shape of a globular protein is determined by the overall three-dimensional folding of the polypeptide chain, which is characteristic of the tertiary structure. This includes interactions such as hydrogen bonds, disulfide bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and ionic bonds between the R groups of the amino acids.

$\square$ a protein with two or more The answer is the fourth one (4): quaternary Explanation: A protein with two or more polypeptide chains refers to the quaternary structure. This level of structure involves the assembly and arrangement of multiple polypeptide subunits into a functional protein complex.

Summary:

  • The shape of a globular protein corresponds to the tertiary structure.
  • A protein with two or more polypeptide chains corresponds to the quaternary structure.
