What else can I help you with?
Fatty acids and amino acids both contain?
Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Fatty acids also contain a carboxyl group (COOH) and a hydrocarbon chain, while amino acids contain an amino group (NH2) and a side chain specific to each amino acid.
What are the structural differences between the amino terminus and carboxyl terminus of a protein?
The amino terminus of a protein has an amino group, while the carboxyl terminus has a carboxyl group. These groups are located at opposite ends of the protein chain, giving the protein its structure and function.
The r group found in amino acids consists of what?
The R group, or side chain, found in amino acids varies depending on the specific amino acid. It is what distinguishes each amino acid from one another and determines their unique properties. Examples of R groups include methyl, hydroxyl, and carboxyl groups.
Which of the following is not attached to the central carbon atom in an amino acid?
In an amino acid, the central carbon atom is attached to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and an R group (side chain). Therefore, the central carbon atom is not attached to a phosphate group in an amino acid.
Identify a functional group always present in amino acids?
Two functional groups are found in all amino acids. These functional groups are the amino group (-NH2) and the carboxyl group (-COOH). The hydrogen atom of the carboxyl group can be broken off quite easily; this gives amino acids their acidic properties.
What are the 3 groups of atoms that make up amino acids called?
Amino group(NH2), Carboxyl group(CO2), and the side chain, represented by 'R' H .....H ....O ..\ ....| ...// ...N--C--C ../.... | ...\ H..... R ....O-
Is NH2 Group carboxyl hydroxyl amino methyl or carbonyl?
NH2 group is an amino group. It is a functional group that consists of a nitrogen atom bonded to two hydrogen atoms.
What are three groups of atoms that make up amino called?
carboxyl group, amino group, side chain
What are three groups of atom that make up amino acids called?
carboxyl group, amino group, side chain
Fatty acids and amino acids both contain?
Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Fatty acids also contain a carboxyl group (COOH) and a hydrocarbon chain, while amino acids contain an amino group (NH2) and a side chain specific to each amino acid.
What functional group is in lysine?
The functional group in lysine is an amino group (-NH2) which is part of its side chain.
What are the structural differences between the amino terminus and carboxyl terminus of a protein?
The amino terminus of a protein has an amino group, while the carboxyl terminus has a carboxyl group. These groups are located at opposite ends of the protein chain, giving the protein its structure and function.
What is an amino acid that posses an additional carboxyl group in side chain?
The two amino acids aspartate and glutamate each contain two carboxyl groups.
Amino acids include a side group as well as?
a central carbon, a hydrogen atom, an amino group, and a carboxyl group
The r group found in amino acids consists of what?
The R group, or side chain, found in amino acids varies depending on the specific amino acid. It is what distinguishes each amino acid from one another and determines their unique properties. Examples of R groups include methyl, hydroxyl, and carboxyl groups.
Which of the following is not attached to the central carbon atom in an amino acid?
In an amino acid, the central carbon atom is attached to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and an R group (side chain). Therefore, the central carbon atom is not attached to a phosphate group in an amino acid.
Which best describes the structure of the molecules that makes up protein?
Carboxyl group + amino group + side chain
