If a cell did not have amino acids or the ability to produce them this would mean that cell did not have the plasma membrane and the membranes that surround a cellâ??s organelles. In this situation a cell would not have the ability to fix damage it sustained or be able to reproduce.
What else can I help you with?
If a cell did not have a supply of amino acids what effect would the cell have?
That cell would eventually die off.
What type of building blocks would you use to construct a protein?
Amino acids
Why can't your body produce proteins from carbohydrates and fats alone?
They would only supply our body with 12 of the 20 amino acids needed to make proteins. The other 8 are reffered to as the essential amino acids and we have to get them from foods.
What would Hydrolysis of a protein produce?
Hydrolysis of a protein would break down the protein into its constituent amino acids. This process involves adding water to the protein molecule, causing the peptide bonds between amino acids to be cleaved, resulting in the release of individual amino acids.
Why are amino acids referred to as a polypeptide?
Polypeptides are short chains of amino acids, they have no functionality as a protein (long amino acid) would have.
Is creatine a compound from amino acids?
No, not really. It is an acid, and it does contain an amino group, but it is not generally considered an amino acid per se. The amino acids we generally speak of are alpha amino acids, and creatine is NOT one of those. When you ask if it is "from amino acids", then the answer would be YES. It is made in the body from several amino acids, such as methionine, glycine and arginine.
What foods supply you with all the essential amino acids?
meat
Why are amino acids called acids?
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.
Would you find hydrophillic or hydrophobic amino acids on the external surface of a protein a protein?
Hydrophilic amino acids would likely be found on the external surface of a protein as they interact with the aqueous environment surrounding the protein, while hydrophobic amino acids tend to be buried within the protein core away from water.
How many amino acids are there if you have 1500 base pairs?
There are three base pairs in each amino acid. If you have 1500 base pairs you would have 500 amino acids.
What is the primary element in amino acids?
By looking at structures and formulas of amino acids one would have to say that carbon was the primary element making up amino acids.
Which monomer would you use to build a protein?
Amino acids are the monomers used to build proteins. Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds.
