Organic molecules containing carboxyl groups are?
Amino acids, which are the monomers of protein, other proteins and organic acids, such as citric acid, acetic acid or fatty acid.
What are the four basic organic molecules?
Alkanes, alkenes, alkynes, and aromatic hydrocarbons
What would an enzyme be called if it moves methyl groups between molecules?
It would be called a transferase. A transferase is defined as an enzyme which "transfers chemical groups between different molecules."Source:Daugherty, Ellyn. "Enzymes: Protein Catalysts." Biotechnology: Science for the New Millennium. St. Paul, MN: Paradigm, 2007. 143-44. Print.
Enzymes are examples of which of these molecule groups?
Enzymes can be classified as either simple enzymes or complex enzymes. 1) Simple enzymes are predominantly made up of proteins. 2) Complex enzymes are enzymes that require cofactors like iron or zinc ions to function properly.
Give an example of how a functional group can affect the properties of an organic compound?
An atom or group of atoms which gives the specific properties to an organic compound is a functional group or The active part of an organic molecule involved in a chemical reaction is known as the functional group. Examples are, 1-Alcohol R-OH, 2-Carboxylic acid R-COOH, 3-Ether R-O-R, e.t.c
Variations in the properties of different organic molecules are most closely associated with?
Different FUNCTIONAL Grouops. Here is a list of some functional groups . C-C ; Alkane C=C ; Alkene C///C ; Alkyne (NB '///' represents a triple bond). -CH2OH [ Alcohol -CH2X ; Any halogen -CHO ; Aldehyde -COOH ; Carboxylic Acid -C(=O)C- ; Ketone -C-O-C- - ; Ether -CH2NH2 ; Amine -C(=O)NH2 ; Amide This list is NOT exhaustive. There are many more functional groups. NB 1; Note how the formula letters are arranged. This is the international IUPAC standard, for recognising functional grouops in a formula. 2; Be careful with the spelling, particularly AlkAnes, AlkEnes and AlkYnes. Only one letter difference for each functional group.,
What Chemical interactions of large organic molecules are largely determined by?
Their functional groups.
What are the two main groups in a plasma membrane of organic molecules?
Proteins and lipids
What is a 3 letter suffix which indicates that an organic compound is an enzyme?
That is -ase. Enzymes are one type of proteins; enzymes have groups too. Proteases are enzymes that break down proteins.
Why are bulky groups added to drug molecules?
The presence of bulky groups can turn agonists into antagonists. The presence of bulky groups can also make antibiotic molecules more difficult for bacterial enzymes to degrade.
What are functional groups responsible for?
Functional groups are an aspect of organic chemistry that signifies the specific groups of atoms and bonds in molecules that are responsible for the characteristic behaviors of the class of compounds that the group is in.
What are coenzymes made of?
Coenzymes are made of mostly carbon molecules. These molecules get used and reused to carry various groups of chemicals to other enzymes.
Functional groups are a group of molecules attached to a carbon-based core of an organic molecule. Key functional groups are .?
Aminos, phosphates, and carbonyls.
How are the organic molecules proteins carbohydrates and lipids different?
they differ in many aspect.... chiefly by their functional groups....
Organic molecules containing carboxyl groups are?
Amino acids, which are the monomers of protein, other proteins and organic acids, such as citric acid, acetic acid or fatty acid.
What is the name given to a drug when developed?
It is named according to the rules set by organic chemistry based on the groups of molecules it contains.
What is the defining characteristic of organic molecules?
Organic chemistry is defined as 'the chemistry of compounds of Carbon'. Or, more accurately, compounds containing carbon-hydrogen bonds. (For example, carbon dioxide doesn't count as organic.)
