What is a C terminal and N terminal in the protein?

Proteins are composed of amino acids, which are composed of a central Carbon atom surrounded by (bonded to) four groups; an amine, a carboxyl group, an R group (also known as a side chain), and a Hydrogen atom. When amino acids link together via peptide bonding to from polypeptides/proteins (A protein is a polypeptide), the amine group of one amino acid interacts with the carboxyl group of another. Therefore, you end up with an amine group on one end of the protein and a carboxyl group on the other. They call the end with the amine on it the "N terminus" because the chemical formula for amine is NH2 while the end with the carboxyl group on it is named the "C terminal" because the chemical formula of a carboxyl is CH2. The N terminus is the end that amino acids are added onto when mRNA is translated in protein synthesis. Therefore, we write that proteins are created N terminus to C terminus.


The end of the fatty acid that does not attach to glycerol has what functional group?

The end of the fatty acid chain that does not attach to glycerol has a carboxyl group, which is a functional group consisting of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and single-bonded to a hydroxyl group (-COOH).


Do fatty acids Contain an alcohol group at one end?

The fatty acids have carboxylic group 'COOH' at terminal this is a group having 'OH' group attached to carbonyl carbon but it is not alcohol.


What are the differences between the c-terminal and n-terminal of amino acids?

The N-terminal of an amino acid is the end where the amino group is located, while the C-terminal is the end where the carboxyl group is located. These ends play a role in determining the structure and function of proteins.


What is the difference between the C-terminal and N-terminal regions of a protein?

The C-terminal region of a protein is the end where the carboxyl group is located, while the N-terminal region is the end where the amino group is located. These regions play a role in determining the structure and function of the protein.

Which end of a molecule of FAt would attract the H end of HI?

Generally, a fatty acid consists of a straight chain of an even number of carbon atoms, with hydrogen atoms along the length of the chain and at one end of the chain and a carboxyl group (―COOH) at the other end. It is that carboxyl group that makes it an acid (carboxylic acid).

Where would you expect to find the withered sepals and petals on a freshly picked tomato?

On a freshly picked tomato, you would expect to find the withered sepals and petals attached to the stem end (where the tomato was connected to the plant) as they are typically located near the calyx.


Would you expect to find a node or an antinode at the end of a plucked guitar string?

At the end of a plucked guitar string, you would expect to find a node. This is because the ends of the string are fixed points that cannot move, resulting in minimal displacement at those points. In contrast, antinodes occur at positions along the string where the displacement is maximum, typically found between the nodes.


How are fatty acids alike?

They all have a hydrocarbon chain with a carboxyl group on the end.


Does fatty acid have a carboxyl group?

Yes, fatty acids have a carboxyl group at one end, which is a functional group consisting of a carbon double-bonded to an oxygen and also bonded to a hydroxyl group. This carboxyl group is what gives fatty acids their acidic properties.
