An amino group and an R group
What else can I help you with?
The functional group ALWAYS found in the following pair of monomeric organic molecules fatty acids and amino acids?
Carboxyl group (-COOH) is the functional group always found in both fatty acids and amino acids. Amino acids have an additional amino group (-NH2) as well.
A carbon skeleton is covalently bonded to both an amino group and a carboxyl group. When placed in water it?
When placed in water, the carbon skeleton with an amino group and a carboxyl group will act as an amino acid. The carboxyl group will donate a proton and become negatively charged, while the amino group will accept a proton and become positively charged, resulting in a zwitterion with both positive and negative charges on the molecule.
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.
Which ion is part of every amino acid?
Amino acids all contain an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH), which form an ionized form known as a zwitterion. This means that in an aqueous solution, amino acids exist as both a cation (NH3+) and an anion (COO-).
What end arrangement of atoms is present in amino acids that was also present in fatty acids?
Both amino acids and fatty acids have a carboxyl group at one end, which consists of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to a hydroxyl group (-COOH).
Which compound contains both carboxyl and amino functional groups in the same molecules?
amino acid
The functional group ALWAYS found in the following pair of monomeric organic molecules fatty acids and amino acids?
Carboxyl group (-COOH) is the functional group always found in both fatty acids and amino acids. Amino acids have an additional amino group (-NH2) as well.
An amino acid is so named because its central carbon is linked to both an amino group and a .?
carboxyl group.

What is Amino acid meaning?
a simple organic compound containing both a carboxyl (-COOH) and an amino (-NH2) group.
What is amino acid means?
a simple organic compound containing both a carboxyl (-COOH) and an amino (-NH2) group.
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 is the definition for amino acid?
Amino acids are organic compounds that serve as the building blocks of proteins. They contain an amino group, a carboxyl group, and a side chain that varies among different amino acids. There are 20 standard amino acids commonly found in proteins.
What end arrangement is present in both amino acids and fatty acids?
Both amino acids and fatty acids contain a carboxyl group at one end of the molecule. This carboxyl group consists of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to a hydroxyl group (OH).
What is different about a carboxyl group and an amino group?
A carboxyl group (-COOH) functions as an organic acid (deprotonate to -COO-). An amino group (-NH2) may function as an organic base (protonated to -NH3+). Therefore an organic compound that has a carboxyl group is likely to have an acidic pH and an organic compound with an amino group is likely to have a basic pH (precise degree of acidity and basicity depends on the number of carbons in th backbone, the number of carboxyl or amino groups, and the presence of other functional groups).Some molecules that have both carboxyl groups and amino groups (amino acids, for example) can function as either an acid or a base under different circumstances, making them useful in buffering the pH of solutions.
Which ion is part of every amino acid?
Amino acids all contain an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH), which form an ionized form known as a zwitterion. This means that in an aqueous solution, amino acids exist as both a cation (NH3+) and an anion (COO-).
Any one of 20 different organic molecules that contain a carboxyl and an amino group and that combine to form proteins?
One example of a molecule that fits this description is an amino acid. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and contain both a carboxyl group and an amino group. There are 20 standard amino acids that are commonly found in proteins, each with a unique side chain that gives it specific properties.
