What are the 4 things bonded to the center carbon of amino acids?

Answer 1

Each amino acid consists of an alpha carbon atom to which is attached, a hydrogen atom, an amino group, a carboxyl group and one of 20 different "R" groups.

Answer 2

Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. The four things that are bonded to the central carbon of every amino acid are the amino group, carboxyl group, R-group and the single hydrogen atom.

Answer 3

The four parts of the amino acid that are connected to the alpha carbon are:

• The amino terminal (NH2)
• The carboxy terminal (COOH)
• A hydrogen group (H)
• The side chain (also known as the R group)

Answer 4

The central carbon atom of an amino acid is bonded to a hydrogen atom, an amine group, a carboxylic acid group, and a side chain that is unique to each of the different amino acids. See the related link for an illustration of a generic amino acid. The R represents the unique side chain.

Answer 5

The Hydroxyl group which is OH. The Carboxyl group which is COOH. The lone Hydrogen which is H and R for Radical.

Answer 6

The 4 things attached to the center carbon in an amino acid are:

• the amino group
• the carboxyl group
• the R-group
• the single Hydrogen atom

Answer 7

a -COOH group

a -NH2 group

a -H atom

a -R group which could either a Hydrogen atom or an alkyl group.

Answer 8

hydrogen,oxygen,carbon and nitrogen
