carboxyl group (cooh)
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.
Carboxylic acids are a type of acids which also has a -COOH functional group.
No. Glutamic acid and Aspartic acid are acidic amino acids while Histidine, Arginine and Lysine are basic amino acids.
Amino acids are acids because they always possess a carboxyl group.
By attachment to nucleic acids and the functional groups of amino acids.
Hydrogen ions give acids their acidic properties.
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.
Hydrogen is present in ALL acids. It is the hydrogen ions that are responsible for the acidic properties.
-COOH is the carboxyl functional group, which is called carboxylic acids, or organic acids. This is what gives vinegar its sour taste. It has acidic properties because of the hydrogen ion and found in ionic forms in cells, which is called carboxylate group.
It protonates the solution to become acidic
Two functional groups are found in all amino acids. These functional groups are the amino group (-NH2) and the carboxyl group (-COOH). The hydrogen atom of the carboxyl group can be broken off quite easily; this gives amino acids their acidic properties.
products that have acidic acids are products such as: gentlemens bits and hats

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.
hi dear.....! we cant say that proteins are always acidic. it depends on the kind of amino acids they are made up of. if it contains more acidic aminoacids , then it is acidic.
Carboxylic acids are a type of acids which also has a -COOH functional group.
lard is made of fatty ACIDS. So... acidic.
