amino acid molecules are water soluble meaning they cannot enter the cell. Fatty acid molecules CAN enter the cell.

Which compound contains both carboxyl and amino functional groups in the same molecules?
amino acid
There can be more than one for the same amino acid?
There can be more than one codon for the same amino acid. The codon is the three letter code that is found in the mRNA.
What does each codon in mRNA specify?
Each codeword on mRNA corresponds with a single amino acid. However, There can be multiple codewords corresponding with the same amino acid.
Is there a difference between the two?
Protein shakes are not the same as amino acid supplements. Amino acids will become proteins. Amino acid supplements and protein shakes are popular options.
Do the atoms have the same rotational ability or mobility in the unsaturated fatty acid as they had in the saturated fatty acid?
Not all of the atoms. The carbon atoms connected by a double bond in an unsaturated fatty acid have less rotational mobility than the carbon atoms connected by a single bond in a saturated fatty acid.
Which compound contains both carboxyl and amino functional groups in the same molecules?
amino acid
Is a sodium fatty acid salt the same as a carboxylic acid salt?
A fatty acid salt is a kind of carboxylic acid salt. But not all carboxylic acid salts are fatty acid salts.
There can be more than one for the same amino acid?
There can be more than one codon for the same amino acid. The codon is the three letter code that is found in the mRNA.
Are glycine and carboxylic acid th same?
No, glycine is one of many different carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acids come in a wide variety ranging from formic acid to amino acids (which include glycine) and fatty acids.
What is the difference between a lipid and an amino acid?
No. An amino acid is the monomer or building block of a protein. Fat is the "street term" for lipid, so essentially fat and lipid are synonyms. Amino acid and protein are not the same substance because many amino acids plus extensive folding, coiling, pleating, or looping create polypeptides, which then join together as a functional protein.
What does each codon in mRNA specify?
Each codeword on mRNA corresponds with a single amino acid. However, There can be multiple codewords corresponding with the same amino acid.
What is the definition for amino acid?
The definition of an amino acid is a simple organic compound that contains both an amino group and a carboxylic acid group. These are both attached to the same carbon atom.
How might one missing nucleotide or the insertion of one additional nucleotide in a DNA strand alter the formation of the translated protein?
Deletion of just one nucleotide in a protein-coding part of a gene will cause a "frameshift mutation." Since the nucleotides are read in groups of three (codons) along the gene, the groupings will change and the protein that results is likely to be completely different.
Is there a difference between the two?
Protein shakes are not the same as amino acid supplements. Amino acids will become proteins. Amino acid supplements and protein shakes are popular options.
Which molecule is common to the metabolism of carbohydrates fatty acids amino acids and alcohol?
The metabolism of carbohydrates, fatty acids, amino acids, and alcohol produces the same molecule for energy: ATP (adenosine triphoshate).
Do the atoms have the same rotational ability or mobility in the unsaturated fatty acid as they had in the saturated fatty acid?
Not all of the atoms. The carbon atoms connected by a double bond in an unsaturated fatty acid have less rotational mobility than the carbon atoms connected by a single bond in a saturated fatty acid.
The DNA base sequence GGG codes for the amino acid proline. Could this same base sequence code for a different amino acid Why or why not?
Yes because once an amino acid is added to the protein chain, the transfer RNA is released into the cytoplasm and can pick up another amino acid.
