How do 20 amino acids differ among organisms?

They differ because the sequence of the ordered base pairs are different making a unique polypeptide chain in every organism. The amino acids can form lactic acid build up in the chest area because of this, resulting in loss of binancial fluid, brain hemerages, and Torres syndrome (Uncontrollable twitching of the pelvis area)


What is the difference between amino acids and L amino acids?

D & L amino acids are both optical isomers of each other; i.e. they're compounds with the same molecular formula but different spatial arrangements. Every optically active compound has a D- and an L- isomer. They ONLY differ in their ability to rotate plane polarized light in opposite directions.


Which three components are common to all amino acids?

The 20 amino acids vary in structure by the R-group, otherwise all amino acids are the same in structure. All amino acids have a carboxyl group, an amino group, an R-group, and a hydrogen which are all bonded to a central carbon. It is the R-groups that make the amino acids react in different ways and alter the structure of the protein.


What is the process of assembling amino acids int a protein from a RNA molecule?

very much no!. RNA is Ribonucleic Acid, including 4 bases (Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and uracil) a ribose sugar and a phosphate sugar. Amino acids comprise of an amino group (NH2+) a Carboxcylic acid group(COOH) and a carbon based R group. The chemicals required for each dont even overlap. Youre getting mixed up with the fact that RNA is used to know what amino acids to make. messenger RNA (mRNA) if created by the cell as a copy of the DNA which says what protein to make. every three bases says one amino acid. The mRNA goes to the ribosome where the mRNA is read, and it attracts the correct transfer RNA (tRNA) molecule there, each holding on to a different amino acid (there are 20 different ones) The amino acids are bound together and all the proteins are happy etc So RNA is just the plans that are read to make the amino acids, and the RNA molecules that help. They are not actually converted into them!


What 2 monomers appear in every amino acid?

Regardless of the countless arrangements of the tewnty plus amino acids, all proteins contain the amine group (-NH2) and the carboxylic group (-COOH). These groups or monomers appear in every amino acid.

What contains amino acids?

Every living thing contains amino acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of DNA.


What polypeptide would you expect from a poly-G mRNA that is 30 nucleotides long?

A poly-G mRNA that is 30 nucleotides long would result in a polypeptide consisting solely of glycine amino acids. This is because each codon codes for a specific amino acid, and in this case, every codon (GGG) codes for glycine.


How many nucleotides are necessary to code for a polypeptide that is 200 amino acids long?

A minimum of 600 nucleotides is necessary to code for a polypeptide that is 200 amino acids long because each amino acid is coded for by a sequence of three nucleotides in mRNA. This is due to the genetic code being triplet, where every three nucleotides represent one amino acid.


Is the amino acids structure similar among all amino acids?

No, every amino acid has its own structural (molecular) formula.

What proteins are found in amino acids?

Proteins, large and complex biomolecules, are made of amino acids. The amino acids react together to form longer chains called polypeptides. The so-called primary structure of a protein is determined by the specific amino acid sequence unique to every protein, whereas its secondary structure depends on how the polypeptide chain is coiled. The tertiary structure of a protein is finally how the protein looks in 3D. And if several polypeptides interact, forming an even bigger structure, then the protein is said to have a quaternary structure. There are essential and non-essential amino acids. The non-essential ones are made in the body, whereas the essential amino acids must be found in the diet.


Why methionine is the first amino acid in every growing polypeptide?

Start Codon Methionine's code is AUG which is also a start codon causing initiation of translation.


What two elements are always found in amino acids?

Every amino acid will always contain Nitrogen, Carbon, Oxygen and Hydrogen


What purpose for amino acid?

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins in the body. They have several important functions, including building and repairing tissues, supporting immune function, and producing enzymes and hormones. Amino acids are also used as a source of energy when needed.


What are the two function groups found in every amino acid?

Amino acids have 2 functional groups, an a-carboxyl group and an-amino group.


There can only be one what for every codon?

There can only be one amino acid for every codon. Tryptophan and Methionine are the types of amino acids that correspond to codon.
