Amino acids are biologically important organic compounds made from amine (-NH2) and carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side-chain specific to each amino acid. The key elements of an amino acid are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, though other elements are found in the side-chains of certain amino acids.

True or false each transfer rna molecule picks up one kind of protein?
Each transfer RNA picks up one kind of amino acid, which is one small part (or building block) of a protein.
Whats the difference between an amino acid molecule and a protein molecule?
Amino acids make up proteins. Protein molecules are made of a long chain of three amino acids each linked to its neighbor through a covalent bond. Amino acids are compounds containing an amino group and a carboxylic acid group.
Do amino acids consist of the amine group?
In short, no. Amino Acids are made up of molecules. Groups of amino acids form proteins. DNA is made up of nucleotides. (Similarly to Amino Acids, nucleotides are made up of molecules.)
What makes one kind of amino acid different from other amino acids?
There is part of an amino acid molecule that is called the R group or side chain.For example, the side chain of the amino acid called glycine is a single hydrogen atom. The side chain is what differs from amino acid to amino acid.
What influences protein shape that determines protein function?
Amino acid sequence primarily determines a proteins shape, but secondary (alpha helix and beta sheet) and tertiary structures (Hydrogen bonding, other chemical bonding between structures) adds to it.
What kind of acid is in a molecule that carries a genetic information?
Nucleic acids:Deoxyribose Nucleic AcidRibose Nucleic Acid
What kind of biological molecule is a dipeptide?
A dipeptide is a [protein] molecule that comprises [or is built from] two amino acids.
Proteins are polymers of what kind of molecule?
Proteins are polymers of amino acid molecules
What kind or biological molecule are enzymes typically?
Enzymes are generally proteins consisted of Amino acids.
What kind of bond hold the animo acide?
In the molecule of an amino acid all of the bonds are covalent.If more amino acids polymerase together, the bond between them is peptide and also covalent.
What is the rule of trna during translation?
The tRNA functions as a sort of taxi service for amino acids. Transfer RNA attaches to a specific amino acid in the cytoplasm and takes it to the ribosome, where it will pair its anticodon with the corresponding mRNA codon, and the amino acid on the tRNA molecule is added to the protein being produced. The tRNA then releases the amino acid and is free to pick up another of the same kind of amino acid, and take it to the ribosome.
What kind of bond is a peptide bond?
it is C-N linkage between two amino acid.carboxylic group of one amino acid react with amino group of other amino acid
What kind of molecule is ch3ch2ch2ch2chchch2ch2ch2ch2ch2ch2ch2cooh?
It is 'hexanoic acid' or 'caproic acid'.
What kind of enzyme or digestive juice breaks down proteins to amino acids?
amino acid
What kind of bonds hold amino acids together to make proteins?
A special form of amide bond called peptide bonds.
What kind of molecule is fatty acid?
lipid
In general what makes one kind of amino acid different from other amino acids?
the side group
