The two functional groups that the name is derived from is an amine and a carboxylic acid.
All alpha-amino acids have the same 'backbone' structure (amine, carbon, carboxylic acid). The difference in their functionality is derived from the "side chain", which can be any of a number of groups.
What else can I help you with?
Which pair of functional groups are involved in the reaction of amino acids to give peptides?
The functional groups involved in the reaction of amino acids to give peptides are the amine group (-NH2) and the carboxyl group (-COOH).
Amino acids contain two common functional groups an amino group and an?
Amino acids contain two common functional groups - an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH). These groups give amino acids their distinctive properties and are involved in forming peptide bonds between amino acids to create proteins.
Can hydroxyl groups be found on all amino acids?
No, hydroxyl groups are not found on all amino acids. Hydroxyl groups are typically found on amino acids such as serine and threonine, but are not present on all amino acids.
What groups are identical in amino acids?
amino and carboxyl groups
What cell is made of amino acids and work to keep cells functioning properly?
Proteins are made of amino acids, and work to keep cells functioning.
Do amino acids have amino groups?
yes yes they do
Do amino acids have protein?
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are simply chains of amino acids. I think you meant to ask do proteins have amino acids. Amino acids as the name indicates (Amino) have amine groups, carboxylic acid groups and a side chain that varies depending on the amino acid (20 differnet types).
Do all amino acids have R groups that are polar?
Yes, all amino acids have the same basic composition, though the r-groups causes the variation. There are 20 different amino acids.
What is made of amino acids and work to keep cells functioning properly?
Proteins are made of amino acids, and work to keep cells functioning.
What element do amino acids have that others don't?
Amino acids have an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH) in their chemical structure, which gives them their name. These functional groups are involved in forming peptide bonds and are essential for building proteins.
How can one determine the polarity of amino acids?
The polarity of amino acids can be determined by looking at their chemical structure and the presence of polar functional groups such as hydroxyl (-OH) or amino (-NH2) groups. Amino acids with these groups are considered polar, while those without them are nonpolar. Additionally, the overall charge of the amino acid can also indicate its polarity, with charged amino acids being polar and uncharged amino acids being nonpolar.
What is a nutrient made up of amino acids?
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins; hence the intake of amino acids will act nutritionally as protein.
