When two amino acids combine does the amino group of one molecule combine with the acid group of the second molecule?
When amino acids combine, they create proteins.
When 2 amino acids link together what bond is formed?
carboxyl group of one molecule of amino acid and amino group of the other molecule of amino acid by releasing a molecule of water.
What type of reaction removes the -NH2 group in an amino acid to prepare the amino acids for further metabolism?
dehydration
What process uses amino acids to make a protein?
Condensation(removal of a water molecule) links amino acids together to form chains called polypeptides. Protein synthesis possibly? Technically what forms the actual bond between the amino acids is dehydration, where an enzyme binds to the amino acids, and removes any H2O, and thus a bond is formed.
Do amino acids amino have an amino group?
No,fatty acids don't have an amino group
What makes up proteins what are the subunits called?
Proteins are composed of amino acids. These amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds where the -COOH group and the -NH2 group of two consecutive amino acids bond with the loss of a water molecule. The sequence of the amino acids make up the primary structure of the protein.
Why does protein exist as a zwitterion?
Because proteins are made up of amino acids and amino acids have both an NH2 group and a COOH group. Amino acids are zwitterions because the NH2 group protonates and the COOH group deprotonates, giving a molecule where one part has a positive charge and another has a negative charge.
What forms a peptide bonds?
A peptide bond is a covalent chemical bond formed between a molecule from a carboxyl group of one molecule or more molecule reacts with the amino group of the other molecule. This is called a dehydration synthesis reaction.
What are the building block molecules that compose proteins?
Amino acids are the building block of protein molecules. As a protein molecule is synthesized the chain is elongated by the step-wise addition of an amino acid to the growing amine-terminal end.
The subunits of proteins are?
The subunits of proteins are called amino acids. Amino acid molecules are smaller than protein molecules and are inside of the protein molecules.Amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds where the -COOH group and the -NH2 group of two consecutive amino acids bond with the loss of a water molecule. The sequence of the amino acids make up the primary structure of the protein.Proteins are made of amino acids.

Which one is smaller an amino acid molecule or a CO2 molecule?
A CO2 molecule is smaller. Amino acids have the general structure +H3N - Cα - COO- (with an R group and a H also attached to the middle (alpha) carbon). This means that amino acids are quite a bit larger than CO2 molecules.
