What did Robert Boyle call the groups of atoms that he studied?
he called them molecules
What main elements do proteins carbohydrates lipids and nucleic acids all have in common?
Lipids, proteins, and carbohydrates are all organic compounds. This means they all contain carbon atoms. The general formula for carbohydrates is CH2O meaning there are two hydrogen atoms for every carbon and oxygen atoms. Lipids are composed of an alcohol(ethanol) and a fatty acid. Proteins contain amino acids which are compounds that contain nitrogen.
Matter consists of tiny particles called?
atoms
Define fatty acid?
In chemistry, especially biochemistry, a fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic tail (chain), which is either saturated or unsaturated. Most naturally occurring fatty acids have a chain of an even number of carbon atoms, from 4 to 28. Fatty acids are usually derived from triglycerides orphospholipids. When they are not attached to other molecules, they are known as "free" fatty acids.
How many elements in insulin?
Six carbon atoms, twelve hydrogen atoms, six oxygen atoms, so twenty-four total atoms in one glucose molecule.
What groups of atoms are common to all amino acids?
The various amino acids are distinguished by the substitution on the central carbon atom. All amino acids feature an amine group and a carboxylic acid.
Is hydrogen present in amino acids?
Yes Amino acids are made up of an amino group which has 2 hydrogen atoms and a carboxyl group which also has 2 hydrogen atoms. It then has other groups attached to it which could have many many more hydrogen atoms added to it
What end arrangements of atoms is present in amino acids that also present in fatty acids?
hydrogen and amino acids.
What end arrangement of atoms is present in amino acids that is also present in fatty acids?
hydrogen and amino acids.
What end arrangement of atoms is present in amino acids that was also present in fatty acids?
hydrogen and amino acids.
What are three groups of atoms that make up amino called?
carboxyl group, amino group, side chain
What are made of amino acids?
amino acids are made of acarboxylic group as the head which is hydrophilic.tail is made of hydrocarbon chain which is hydrophobic.in other words amino acids are made of carbon atoms,hydrogen atoms and oxygen

The r group found in amino acids consists of what?
The r group found in amino acids consists of additional atoms.
What Organic molecule composed of long chains of amino acids?
This description applies to all alpha amino acids except for glycine.The amino acids found in cells of organisms are alpha amino acids. The carbon-containing group is a side chain, often symbolized by R.The general formula for amino acids isR-CH(NH2).COOHIn glycine R = H, but in all other amino acids R represents a side chain containing, among other elements, one or more carbon atoms.
