What two groups are found in each amino acid structure?
The amino group NH2 and the carboxylic group COOH are characteristic in all amino acids.
What kind of biological molecule is an amino acid?
Amino acids are biologically important organic compounds made from amine (-NH2) and carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side-chain specific to each amino acid. The key elements of an amino acid are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, though other elements are found in the side-chains of certain amino acids.
What is the nucleiotide sequence in mRNA that determines a specific amino acid?
groups of three nuleotides in mRNA codes for each one specific amino acid, these groups of three nucleotides are called as codon
How many different R-groups are present in 3 different amino acids?
Three, one for each amino acid.
Each codon calls for a specific?
amino acid
What happens to each of the functional groups on an amino acid when the amino acid becomes an ion?
That depends on the pH. Most times, the amnio group will be NH3+ while the carbonyl group will be COO-.
What is the attractive force that keeps one amino acid attached to another amino acid?
Amino acids are attached to each other via covalent bonds between the organic acid and amine groups. This covalent bond is often called a Peptide Bond.
What is an amino acid that posses an additional carboxyl group in side chain?
The two amino acids aspartate and glutamate each contain two carboxyl groups.
If one base coded for one amino acid what is the maximum number of codes there will be?
There are 21 amino acids found in eukaryotes. Three bases represent a codon, and each codon codes for one amino acid.
What part of the amino acid is different in each amino acid different?
The "R" group
What does each codon in mRNA specify?
Each codeword on mRNA corresponds with a single amino acid. However, There can be multiple codewords corresponding with the same amino acid.
What makes one kind of amino acid different from other amino acids?
There is part of an amino acid molecule that is called the R group or side chain.For example, the side chain of the amino acid called glycine is a single hydrogen atom. The side chain is what differs from amino acid to amino acid.
