The three parts of an Amino Acid are:
- The Amino Group (-NH2)
- The Carboxyl Group (-COOH)
- and an R Group that differs among the Amino Acids.
All of these plus a Hydrogen Atom are chemically bonded to the Alpha Carbon.

∙ 14y agoThe amino group, acid group - which together led to the naming of this class of molecules - and the alkyl group. This chemical group is what determines the identity of the amino acid; the simplest example is an H atom in glycine, but others contain longer chains of hydrocarbon or even phenols and benzenes with further chains on those.

Proteins are polymers of what kind of molecule?
Proteins are polymers of amino acid molecules
What are the essential proteins?
The basic monomer for proteins is amino acid.
What is the minimum number of different amino acid needed to synthesized most proteins?
Calculations show that there is a minimum of three bases required to encode 20 amino acids. Experiments show that amino acid is encoded by groups of three bases.
Proteins contain what kind of acids?
All proteins are made up of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. An amino acid has a carboxylic acid functional group and an amine group. Some of the amino acids (such as aspartic acid and glutamic acid) has an extra carboxylic acid functional group in its side chain.
How do you limit amino acid in protein construction?
proteins are comprised of amino acids, so it is impossible to have proteins without amino acids.
Amino acids are monomers of?
Amino acids ARE monomers- of Proteins: a polymer. Elements C,H,O,N and sometimes s and p make it up..
Proteins are made up of monomers called?
The monomers of proteins are amino acids.
What are proteins digested into?
Amino acids
Is a amino acid a protein or lipid?
First off, it should be asked "Are lipids or proteins in an amino acid?". And the answer is proteins, because proteins are monomers ("building blocks") of amino acids.
Are lipids made of chains of amino acid?
No, that's proteins
Proteins are polymers of what kind of molecule?
Proteins are polymers of amino acid molecules
What does amino acid means?
An amino acid is the monomer, or basic building block, of proteins.
What is the difference an amino acid and a nucleic acid?
An amino acid is the monomer of proteins, and a nucleic acid is genetic material.
What are the parts of an amino acid molecule?
Amino Acids are composed of three primary parts. Every amino acid has an amine and a carboxylic acid, but each amino acid has a side-chain specific to that acid.
What are the essential proteins?
The basic monomer for proteins is amino acid.
Is lysine an enzyme?
No. Lysine is an amino acid. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
What is the difference between amino acid and a nucleic acid?
An amino acid is the monomer of proteins, and a nucleic acid is genetic material.
