The flow chart illustrates part of the process of collagen formation. Three polypeptide chains joined together by X bonds make a triple helix. Intermolecular bonds hold the triple helix together to produce Y, and these then produce Z. Which row correctly gives X, Y and Z?

  • AX: disulfide, Y: fibres, Z: fibrils
  • BX: hydrogen, Y: fibrils, Z: fibres
  • CX: hydrogen, Y: microfibrils, Z: fibres
  • DX: peptide and hydrogen, Y: fibres, Z: microfibrils
