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.
What are the two function groups found in every amino acid?
Amino acids have 2 functional groups, an a-carboxyl group and an-amino group.
What is a beta-amino acid?
A beta-amino acid is an amino acid which has the amino and carboxylic functional groups attached to adjacent carbon atoms.
The different shapes and functions of proteins are determined by?
A. the R groups of the amino acids they contain. I've got the same packet.
What are the names of the two chemical groups that all amino acids have in common?
Amino = Amine Acid = Carboxylic Acid These two groups are what give amino acid's there name. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amino_acid
What are the two functional groups of amino acid?
Amino acids are of different types e.g. acidic,basic,neutral, imino ,and sulpher containing etc but all types of amino acids possess two functional groups. These functional groups are amino group and carboxylicgroup. An amino group is chemically NH2 , it is a basic group. Other functional group is carboxylic group which is chemically COOH , it is acidic in nature, Functional group is part of molecule that gives it ,its specific chemical characters.Presence of these groups makes amino acid amphoteric.
What functional groups behave as a base?
amino

Is nitrogen in all amino acids'?
Yes all amino acids contain an amino group which contains nitrogen ---> -NH2 hence the name amino acid. This is a common group in all amno acids, it is only changes in the R group that leads to approximately 20 different naturally occurring amino acids in humans.
Which category of organic compounds contain a carboxylic acid group and an amino group?
Amino acids contain acid groups and amino groups alternately.
What functional groups are found in insulin?

Which compound contains both carboxyl and amino functional groups in the same molecules?
amino acid
What functional groups can undergo amino acid conjugation?
-COOH can undergo amino acid conjugation.
