What do amino acids always have?
All amino acids share a common structure. The have a carboxyl group (COH), an amine group (NH3), a hydrogen, a variable "R" group, and a central carbon to which all these groups are attached.
What group do amino acids always contain?
The amino acids are distinguished by the R groups which determines what amino acid it is.
How do amino acids differ?
Amino acids differ according to their R groups. All amino acids have an amino group, a carboxyl group (organic acid), and a hydrogen atom attached to a central carbon atom. Also attached to the central carbon atom is an R group that varies according to the amino acid. Refer to the related links for illustrations.
How do individual amino acids differ?
Amino acids differ according to their R groups. All amino acids have an amino group, a carboxyl group (organic acid), and a hydrogen atom attached to a central carbon atom. Also attached to the central carbon atom is an R group that varies according to the amino acid. Refer to the related links for illustrations.
Can hydroxyl groups be found on all amino acids?
No, hydroxyl groups are not found on all amino acids. Hydroxyl groups are typically found on amino acids such as serine and threonine, but are not present on all amino acids.
How do acids differ?
Amino acids differ according to their R groups. All amino acids have an amino group, a carboxyl group (organic acid), and a hydrogen atom attached to a central carbon atom. Also attached to the central carbon atom is an R group that varies according to the amino acid. Refer to the related links for illustrations.
What groups are identical in amino acids?
amino and carboxyl groups
Are proteins are polymers of amino acids?
Yes they are the polymers. Amino acids are attached by peptide bond
Are polymer of amino acids proteins?
Yes they are the polymers. Amino acids are attached by peptide bond
Do amino acids have amino groups?
yes yes they do
Is hydrogen present in amino acids?
Yes Amino acids are made up of an amino group which has 2 hydrogen atoms and a carboxyl group which also has 2 hydrogen atoms. It then has other groups attached to it which could have many many more hydrogen atoms added to it
Identify a functional group always present in amino acids?
Two functional groups are found in all amino acids. These functional groups are the amino group (-NH2) and the carboxyl group (-COOH). The hydrogen atom of the carboxyl group can be broken off quite easily; this gives amino acids their acidic properties.
