Is an amino acid a carbonhydrate?

No. The amino acids are the monomers of proteins, while the carbohydrates or sugars are hydrogen-carbon molecules that are the main (or the first) molecule sources to form energy, mainly in the form of ATP.


What organic molecules contains the element nitrogen?

Amino acids (and thus proteins).


What element is found in protein molecules that is not found in lipids?

The element found in protein molecules that is not present in lipids is nitrogen. Proteins are composed of amino acids, which contain nitrogen in their amino groups, while lipids primarily consist of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. This nitrogen is crucial for the formation of the peptide bonds that link amino acids together in proteins.


Is oxygen present in protein but not in fats?

Nitrogen is the element present in all proteins except carbohydrates and fats. Amino acids make up all proteins, and they contain the amino group NH2, except for carbohydrates and fats.?æ


What element transports and positions amino acids?

The element that transports and positions amino acids is tRNA (transfer RNA). tRNA molecules carry specific amino acids to the ribosome during protein synthesis and ensure that the correct amino acid is added to the growing polypeptide chain according to the sequence of mRNA.


Any what can be used by the body for the synthesis of a nonessential amino acid except?

The body can use various precursor molecules such as glucose, fatty acids, and other amino acids for the synthesis of nonessential amino acids, excluding water which is not a direct precursor for amino acid synthesis.

What type of Molecule is needed to form protein molecules?

Amino acids are the molecules needed to form protein molecules. Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids.


Is potassium protein?

Potassium is an element - an alkali metal, to be specific. Proteins are chains of "amino acid residues" - partial amino acid molecules bonded end-to-end - and none of the amino acids that form proteins (there are many of them that do not) contain potassium.


The amino group of an amino acid is based on which element?
