Write the name of optically inactive amino acid?
Glycine, or aminoethanoic acid is the only amino acid that is not optically active as it does not contain a chiral carbon. C2H5NO2
What molecules form protiens when linked together with covalent bonds?
Amino acids are the molecules. Dipeptide bonds is the specific name for the covalent bonds.
Why are amino acids called amino acids?
They are acids because they are electron donors in a chemical bonding. The "amino" part of the name stems from the fact that they all have an amine group ( -NH2 ) at one end.Amino acids are called this due to the Amine N-R3 group and the O-C=O carboxylic acid group found in all of them.
What reactions happens when amino acids are combined to build a protein?
condensation? Well this is the name of the reaction when two amino acids come together to make a dipeptide.

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).
