Three molecules of water are formed when four amino acids join together. This is the result of three amide bonds that underwent condensation reactions.

A protein consisting of six amino acids undergoes hydrolysis How many water molecules must be broken down and reattached to amino acid molecules during this process?
Five. One molecule of water will be used to break each bond between the amino acids. Since there are five bonds, then five molecules of water will be required for the hydrolysis of this peptide.
Is water hydrophobic?
no, that would mean water molecules are not attracted to other water molecules
What is The relationship between a polypeptide bond and a peptide bond?
a polypeptide is a a sequence of amino acids covalently bonded together by a peptide bond. The peptide bond is formed when two adjacent amino acids come together by way of condensation reaction (loss of a water molecule) to form the covalent bond between them.
A cell is like a water balloon filled with objects the water surrounds the objects giving the balloon its shape what is the water substance called in a cell and what does it contain?
cytoplasm, containing 90% water, ions,sugars, amino acids, and ATP
Describe the role of energy when ice melts and when vapor condences to form liquid water?
When water molecules melt, energy is absorbed. When water molecules evaporate, energy is also absorbed. When water molecules condense energy is released. When water molecules freeze energy is also released.
The subunits of proteins are?
The subunits of proteins are called amino acids. Amino acid molecules are smaller than protein molecules and are inside of the protein molecules.Amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds where the -COOH group and the -NH2 group of two consecutive amino acids bond with the loss of a water molecule. The sequence of the amino acids make up the primary structure of the protein.Proteins are made of amino acids.

What bond forms water molecules?
A water molecule is formed by two O-H bonds. Water molecules are attracted to each other by the intermolecular force; hydrogen bonding.

Five. One molecule of water will be used to break each bond between the amino acids. Since there are five bonds, then five molecules of water will be required for the hydrolysis of this peptide.
What molecules do amino acids make up?
All proteins contain amino acids as part of their primary structure. For some examples: insulin, glucagon, collagen. There are other biological molecules that use amino acids such as the biopolymer peptidoglycan found in bacteria cell walls.
What is the process called where the body converts amino acids into others?
The process of converting amino acids into protein is protein synthesis. It is a type of condensation reaction as water molecules are formed.
How many molecules of water are used up in the COMPLETE breakdown of a polypeptide that is 15 amino acids in length?
14 water molecules are used
What substances can pass through the glomerulus?
Small Ions: Sodium/Potassium Ions Water Molecules Urea Molecules Other Waste Products ( Amino Acids)
What chemical substance is formed when amino acids -OH's and -H's are joined together?
Water molecules, along with a longer amino acid chain.
Principle of salting out method for genomic DNA isolation?
Th There are hydrophobic amino acids and hydrophilic amino acids in protein molecules. After protein folding in aqueous solution, hydrophobic amino acids usually form protected hydrophobic areas while hydrophilic amino acids interact with the molecules of solvation and allow proteins to form hydrogen bonds with the surrounding water molecules. If enough of the protein surface is hydrophilic, the protein can be dissolved in water. When the salt concentration is increased, some of the water molecules are attracted by the salt ions, which decreases the number of water molecules available to interact with the charged part of the protein. As a result of the increased demand for solvent molecules, the protein-protein interactions are stronger than the solvent-solute interactions; the protein molecules coagulate by forming hydrophobic interactions with each other. This process is known as salting out. ere are hydrophobic amino acids and hydrophilic amino acids in protein molecules.

How many molecules of water are formed when four amino acids join?
It would be four because there is one water molecule per each amino acid.
A cell membrane is relatively impermeable to substances that are?
water-soluble molecules such as amino acids, sugars, protiens, nucleic acids, and various ions
