Give an example of how a functional group can affect the properties of an organic compound?
An atom or group of atoms which gives the specific properties to an organic compound is a functional group or The active part of an organic molecule involved in a chemical reaction is known as the functional group. Examples are, 1-Alcohol R-OH, 2-Carboxylic acid R-COOH, 3-Ether R-O-R, e.t.c
What element makes an organic molecule an organic molecule?
The basic answer regarding the difference between organic and inorganic molecules is carbon. Carbon is the key to organic molecules. Yes, there are a few carbon compounds that may be considered inorganic, but it is the carbon that is the key to the differences. Carbon compounds number in the millions.
What is the function of the R group?
Thiols.
What type of a molecule are enzymes?
Enzymes are proteins, which are made from smaller sub-units called amino acids. The amino acid sequence for various proteins is coded for by the DNA, and the amino acids are put together, according to this sequence, by the ribosomes. Enzymes have an active site, which is a particular portion of the protein that is responsible for carrying out the reaction. There are lots of enzymes in cells. Some enzymes are only expressed in certain cells where they are needed - this is partly what makes cells differentiated from other cell types. For example, liver cells will need different enzymes to skin or brain cells in order to carry out their specialised functions.
How do enzymes help break down your food?
A process called enzymatic hydrolysis breaks the bonds holding the molecular building blocks within the food together. Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction with water that results in the break up of a molecule into two parts.
What organic compound makes up enzymes?
Enzymes are a type of protein.
What type of organic compound is found in Amylase?
amylase has enzymes, but enzymes are not an organic compound. The four types of organic compounds would be lipids, nucleic acids carbohydrates and protein. Your body makes enzymes and amylase, and anything your body make is a protein. Therefore your answer is a protein.
Which chemical makes an onion pungent?
The chemical that makes onions pungent is called syn-propanethial-S-oxide. When an onion is cut or crushed, enzymes react with sulfur compounds in the onion to produce this compound, which then stimulates our eyes to tear up and gives onions their characteristic smell and taste.
What element is needed by plants because it makes up the chlorophyll molecules and of enzymes?
Magnisium
What makes an organic compound a base?
the -NH2 group...
What makes molecule organic or inorganic?
Organic molecules made of carbon and hydrogen (plus other elements). The basis of them is the carbon.

Group of organic compounds makes up most cell parts?
Yes, it is correct, life is organic chemistry.
What term best describes how fungi obtain energy?
Fungi obtain energy through a process known as heterotrophy. They absorb nutrients by secreting enzymes that break down organic matter in their environment, allowing them to absorb the resulting smaller molecules. This makes them important decomposers in ecosystems, as they recycle nutrients from dead organisms and organic materials.
What class of organic molecules makes the best antigens and why?
specially sequenced polypeptides or most important are oligosacchrides
Why does carbons unique bonding ability makes it essential in all organic molecules?
With carbon, molecular chains, known as Linear Polymeric Molecules (LPM), can form.
What are the physical changes of the small intestines?
enzymes, pancreation, amylase, changes starch into the disaccharidemaltose a sugar makes 2 glucose molecules
