The amino acids are distinguished by the R groups which determines what amino acid it is.
An amino acid will always have (around a central carbon) an amine group, a hydrogen, a carboxylic acid group and an R-group.
Amino acids are acids because they always possess a carboxyl group.
no amino acid is not a fatty acid this is because of the following reasons 1- due to the difference of functional group i.e Amino acid has two functional groups one is amino group (-NH2) and other is carboxylic group (-COOH) while in fatty acid (-RCOOH) only carboxylic group are present. 2-Amino acid is the sub-unit of protein while Fatty acid is the sub-unit of lipids(FATS).
Amino acids all contain the carboxyl group (-CO2H), which is acidic. If named by IUPAC nomenclature they would be referred to as acids as well. For example glycine, the simplest amino acid, would be 2-aminoethanoic acid.
Nitrogen and sulphur, proteins are made of amino acids which contain an amine group NH, a carboxyl group COOH and an R group. The R group is a side chain, which is different in each of the 20 amino acids, which in methionine and cysteine contains a sulphur group. Carbohydrates contain carbon and hydrogen. Fats also contain carbon and hydrogen in the form of triglyceride and fatty acids.
Amino acids with a free -NH2 group and proteins containing free amino acids
Proteins are made up of amino acids, which always contain an amine group (NH2), a carboxyl group as well (COOH), and a side group that varys from different amino acids.
Amino acids
An amino group and an R group
Amino acids are acids because they always possess a carboxyl group.
carboxyl group
an amino and a carboxyl group
Amino acids contain acid groups and amino groups alternately.
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.
Proteins: They were made up of amino acids which is composed of Carboxylic group and an amino group.
amino acids contain a basic amine group (NH2) and an acidic carboxylic acid group (CO2H)
carboxylic acid
No - neither of them do.
