Does lipid contain carbon?

Both carbohydrates and lipids contain a carboxyl group. They differ in that carbohydrates are formed between a carboxyl and an aldehyde group whereas a lipid is formed between a carboxyl and a hydroxyl group. Amino acids also contain a carboxyl group, though it forms a peptide bond with an amino group.


Are hydrocarbons in the carboxyl group?

This wording of this question sounds like you may be confused. In the term "carboxyl group", group refers to a specific group of atoms (COOH), not to a group of similar types of compounds. Since hydrocarbons by definition contain only carbon and hydrogen, a hydrocarbon cannot contain a carboxyl group.

Amino acids are acids because they posses which functional group?

The contain a carboxyl (COOH) group at one end of the molecule. At physiological pH (approx. 7.4) they are ionised to COO-, proton donors are acidic. However they also contain a basic amino group (NH2) and the hydrogen lost from the carboxyl group is transferred to this nitrogen forming NH3+. These charges cancel each other out and give them an overall neutral charge at this pH.


What contains both a carboxyl group and an amino group?
