What functional group found in amino acids is absent from monosaccharides polysaccharides fatty acids and glycerol?

The amino group (-NH2) found in amino acids is absent in monosaccharides, polysaccharides, fatty acids, and glycerol. The absence of this group is attributed to the structural differences and functions of these biomolecules.


Does glycerol have a amino group?

No, glycerol does not have an amino group. Glycerol is a simple sugar alcohol with three hydroxyl (OH) groups. Amino groups contain nitrogen and are typically found in amino acids and proteins, not in compounds like glycerol.


Do fatty acids and glycerol both contain an amino group?

No - neither of them do.


Do molecules join to form fat in amino acids?

No, fat molecules are not formed by joining amino acids. Fats are made up of fatty acids and glycerol molecules, while amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. The process of joining fatty acids and glycerol forms a fat molecule through a process known as esterification.


Are polymer of amino acids proteins?

Yes they are the polymers. Amino acids are attached by peptide bond


Are proteins are polymers of amino acids?

Yes they are the polymers. Amino acids are attached by peptide bond


What is the polymer and monomer for the macromolecules?

For carbohydrates they are monosaccharides. For proteins,amino acids. For lipids glycerol and fatty acids. For nucleic acids nucleotides.


Amino acids always have two groups attached what are they?

A carboxyl and an amino


What does your digestive system add to your blood?

soluble end of products such as glucose , amino acids and fatty acids and glycerol


What are subunits that make up fat?

Two subunits that make up a fat molecule are glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol is made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and fatty acids consist of hydrogen atoms, chains of carbon, and a carboxylic acid group.


Which statement is true simple sugars are made of polysaccharides glycerol is made of fatty acids DNA is made of nucleotides amino acids are made of proteins?

Statement three is true; glycerol combined with fatty acids become glycerides, polysaccharides are comprised of simple sugar monomers and proteins are composed from a pallette of primarily twenty amino acids.


Is glycerol a protein?

No. Glycerol is merely a three Carbon chain with an -OH (alcohol) group on each of these three Carbons = HO-CH2-OH-CH-CH2-OH. The opportunities for "expansion" of this molecule are at least extensive.
