carbon hydrogen and oxygen. You need one carbon 2 oxygen's and one hydrogen . What makes it a carboxyl group is the bonds and the way it arranges itself in space, which makes it very active . Below is an example: carboxy groups tend to be added to VW carbon chains to make acids . I drew CH3CH2CH2CH2COOH (valeric acid) aka named pentanoic acid Notice it has 5 carbons and the oic means it has a carboxyl group on its end acting like an acid
which means it can lose things like the hydrogen and become COO-
This is a very important reaction in the human body called the buffer system. Carboxyl groups are part of the Protein Buffer system (blood is a protein !) see http://faculty.stcc.edu/AandP/AP/AP2pages/Units21to23/ph/buffers.htm

C=O this is the carboxyl end

O-H good luck!
A carboxyl group consists of a carbonyl group (C=O) and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to the same carbon atom. The formula is -COOH. The carboxyl group is commonly found in organic molecules such as carboxylic acids.
A carboxyl group is a set of four atoms bonded together and present in carboxylic acids, including amino acids. Usually abbreviated as either CO2H or COOH, this set of atoms constitutes a functional group. In every carboxyl group the carbon atom is attached to an oxygen atom by a double bond and to a hydroxyl group (OH) by a single bond. In this way a carboxyl group is equivalent to a carbonyl group bonded to a hydroxyl group.

A carboxylic acid is a functional group which is a group of atoms that share certain characteristics or behaviors in molecules.
They way to identify a compound with a carboxylic acid is to look for a Carbon atom double bonded to an Oxygen atom and single bonded to an OH.
Its looks like:
The R is just representative of the rest of the chain.
its made up of 1 hydrogen 2 oxygen and 1 carbon it look like -COOH
COOH
two examples are carboxyl and hydroxyl examples are vinegar for carboxyl and phenol for hydroxyl there are many others
No, a carboxyl group contains a carbon atom, an oxygen atom, and a hydrogen atom. It does not contain nitrogen.
The molecule with only a carboxyl group is called formic acid, with the formula HCOOH. It consists of a carboxyl group, COOH, where the hydrogen atom is attached to the carbon and the hydroxyl group (-OH) is attached to the same carbon.
The functional group in lysine is an amino group (-NH2) which is part of its side chain.
Yes, carboxyl groups can form covalent bonds with each other through a reaction called condensation or dehydration synthesis. This reaction involves the removal of a water molecule and the formation of a peptide bond between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid.

Carboxyl group + amino group + side chain
Carboxyl group + amino group + side chain
The carboxyl group is writed -COOH.

It is an amino group, part of the structure of an amino acid that also includes alpha carbon, carboxyl group, hydrogen and an R group side chain. Basic amino group H2N (-NH2) may gain a proton and become -NH3+, an acidic carboxyl group (H3N).
NH2 group is an amino group. It is a functional group that consists of a nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms.
R-COOH An R group bonded to a carbon that is double bonded to one oxygen and bonded singly to a hydroxyl group.
No, a carboxyl group contains a carbon atom, an oxygen atom, and a hydrogen atom. It does not contain nitrogen.
Amino acids always include a carboxyl group and an amino group. They are organic compounds that serve as the building blocks of proteins.
