∙ 14y agoIt is an amino acid in which their R-group is polar. The polarity of the R-group is determined on whether the bonds are entirely equal or if they are pulling toward an electronegative atom.

Is valine a polar amino acid?
Valine is an amino acid, one of the biochemical components of proteins. A protein can consist of hundreds of amino acids. So valine is not a protein but a part of a protein in the way that one piece is not an entire jigsaw puzzle :).
How can you tell if an amino acid was polar?
If it were polar, it should dissolve in water.
What determines a protein's structure and a function?
A protein's structure is determined by its polarity. Sub-units have polar and non-polar parts. No-polar go in the inside and polar on the outside of the protein. They are attracted to each other and this is what causes the protein's complex patterns.
Is C13H18O2 polar or non polar?
it is polar since it has carboxylic acid (propanoic acid) function
What happens if you exchange a charge amino acid for a non-polar one on the surface of the protein?
it drastically alters the structure of the protein, and thus its function. An example would be the sickle version of hemoglobin (HbS) is the change of a single glutamic acid for a valine in the β-globin chain. This change substitutes a charged amino acid for a non-polar one on the surface of the protein, leading the protein to become sticky and form clumps.
What is a non-polar amino acid?
a non polar amino acid is if it has 1 carbon and 3 hydrogen
What is the property of alanine that helps it explain its reaction to water?
The amino acid alanine is non-polar, it has a neutral charge, not positive or negative, and it is hydrophobic.
What kind of amino acid would you expect to find embedded in the plasma membrane lipid bilayer a. non-polar b. polar c. charged d. cysteine?
The inner environment of the plasma membrane is a non-polar environment - one that does not like the entry of water or molecules that like water. A non polar amino acid is one that does not like water. Therefore, a non-polar amino acid would feel comfortable being embedded in the plasma membrane

Is asparagine acidic?
This is a polar amino acid.

Is boric acid polar or non polar?
Polar
Why does albumin produce a precipitate in ethanol?
Egg Albumin, to be specific, has high concentrations of polar amino acids such as Glutamic Acid, Aspartic Acid, and Lysine (basic). It also has high concentration of Leucine (a non-polar amino acid) and small amounts of many others. The high concentration of polar amino acids makes the hydrophilic polar/charged molecules face the outside, toward the water containing solution. While the hydrophobic portions of the protein are "Shelled" inward away from the water.
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 C13H18O2 polar or non polar?
it is polar since it has carboxylic acid (propanoic acid) function
Is salicylic acid polar or non-polar?
Oxalic acid is a non-polar molecule due to its molecular structure.
