Part of amino acid is acidic?
the carboxyl functional group
What functional group is responsible for the acidic properties of fatty acids?
carboxyl group (cooh)
What functional group causes a molecule of citric acid to be acidic?
Carboxyl
What is a functional group that would cause a molecule like citric acid to be acidic?
The carboxyl group. Carboxyl acts as an acid by contributing an H plus to a solution.
What is a functional group that would cause a molecule such as citric acid to be acidic?
Carboxyl
Part of amino acid is acidic?
the carboxyl functional group
What functional group is h3n?
It is an amino group, part of the structure of an amino acid that also includes alpha carbon, carboxyl group, hydrogen and an R group side chain. Basic amino group H2N (-NH2) may gain a proton and become -NH3+, an acidic carboxyl group (H3N).

What are the 4 parts of amino acids?
amino group, carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and variable group (R)grouped according to side chains1 group can be hydrophobic1 group can have sides that are hydrophilicwith a carboxyl group, could have a negative chargebut would normally have a positive chargenotice that all amino acids have carboxyl groups and amino groupsacidic and basic only refer to groups on side chainsbecause they are charged, acidic and basic side chains are also hydrophilic
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.
The -COOH funtional group?
The -COOH functional group is known as the carboxyl group. It consists of a carbonyl group (C=O) attached to a hydroxyl group (-OH). It is found in carboxylic acids and is responsible for their acidic properties.
Are proteins acidic or basic?
acidic
What makes an amino acid an amphoteric molecule?
Amino acids are ampholytes because they exhibit both acidic and basic properties. The basic properties being due to the -NH2 group, and its acidic properties being due to its -COOH group.
What functional groups act as an acid?
two examples are carboxyl and hydroxyl examples are vinegar for carboxyl and phenol for hydroxyl there are many others
