Amino acids are not part of evolutionary theory. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. The theory of evolution by natural selection explains much of the mechanism for evolution. Alleles are different molecular forms of the same gene. This means different alleles could code for the manufacturing of different proteins, or proteins with different functions. Proteins are made of amino acids, which is as close as amino acids get to the theory of evolution. If it were some other molecule then the theory of evolution would still be explaining much the same thing.

Is amino acid is acid?

Amino acids are, as the name suggests, both amines (basic) and acids (acidic, of course). They fall into the category of compounds known as zwitterions: chemicals that have an acidic part and a basic part in the same molecule.


What is the difference and similarities between Instinct theory and evolutionary perspective?

Instinct theory claims that how people survive and survived is related to generics. Evolutionary perspective claims looks at how previous language, memory, physical characteristics, etc. have evolved over time. While evolutionary perspective deals with biology more, it could technically fall under instinct theory because of how they both look at human behavior.


What are the Rf values of amino acids?

The Rf (retention factor) values of amino acids can vary based on the specific conditions used in thin layer chromatography. Generally, Rf values for different amino acids will fall within a range of approximately 0.1 to 0.9, with each amino acid having a unique Rf value based on its individual chemical properties. For precise values, it is best to consult specific experimental data or reference sources.


Why do enzymes fall into the protein category?

Because like all proteins they are made of long folded chains of amino acids bonded together in polypeptides by peptide bonds.


What is superfamily in proteins?

Proteins aren't complete creatures, so they don't fall under the Linnean classification system. However, if you should mean what are the precursors of proteins, the answer is amino acids.

What happens to glucose and amino acids when they are absorbed into the blood stream?

After the glucose is absorbed into the blood it is taken to the liver and is either stored or distributed to cells throughout the body for energy. To provide enough energy for the body the liver regulates blood glucose levels. Example: excess glucose is converted to glycogen in the liver and is stored. Likewise, if blood sugar levels fall it is reconverted back to glucose. Not sure about amino acids :P

What could be a more general name for an enzyme?

Enzymes are polymeric proteins composed from amino acids. They function in the body as catalysts to regulate the speed of metabolic reactions. So they would fall into the general categories of "polymer", "protein" and "catalyst"...as well as a number of other categories, I imagine.
