What else can I help you with?
Why are amino acids called acids?
Amino acids all contain the carboxyl group (-CO2H), which is acidic. If named by IUPAC nomenclature they would be referred to as acids as well. For example glycine, the simplest amino acid, would be 2-aminoethanoic acid.
Which functional group is within the compound shown below R NH2?
This is the group amine.
How many bases are needed to make 3 amino acids?
To make 3 amino acids, you would need at least 9 bases. This is because each amino acid is encoded by a sequence of 3 bases called a codon. So, 3 amino acids would require 3 codons, which would be 9 bases in total.
Would you find hydrophillic or hydrophobic amino acids on the external surface of a protein a protein?
Hydrophilic amino acids would likely be found on the external surface of a protein as they interact with the aqueous environment surrounding the protein, while hydrophobic amino acids tend to be buried within the protein core away from water.
What is a 5 residue polypeptide?
Basically, proteins are long chains of amino acids, which are linked together through a chemical bond known as a peptide bond. They can be hundreds of amino acids in length. Peptides, which qualify as proteins, are just shorter chains of amino acids, generally between 2 and 100 amino acids. In biochemistry, amino acids are also referred to as residues; thus a 5 residue polypeptide is just a 5 amino acid long peptide, linked together with a peptide bond between each residue.
Why tyrosine is simple amino acid?
It is an nonessential amino acid but I would not call it's structure that simple.
Why are amino acids referred to as a polypeptide?
Polypeptides are short chains of amino acids, they have no functionality as a protein (long amino acid) would have.
A chain of 67amino acids would be called?
A chain of 67 amino acids would be called a peptide or a polypeptide, depending on the context in which it is being referred to. Peptides typically consist of fewer than 50 amino acids, while polypeptides are longer chains of amino acids.
When all the grains in a rock are easy to see the rock is described as what?
Visible crystals or grains would be referred to as a coarse grained texture.
How many amino acids are considered relevant to the human body?
There are 20 essential amino acids - needed for human beings to survive and thrive. These amino acids are utilized in protein synthesis - for muscle fibers, immunoglobulins, hormones, neurotransmitters and many, many more proteins, as well.
What is 66 feet per second?
That would be referred to as a "speed". It can also be described as "45 miles per hour", to which it is identically equivalent.

What are completions?
Your body can synthesize most of the 22 amino acids that you need to make protein, with the exception of nine essential amino acids (histadine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine) that must come from your food. Fortunately, all unrefined foods have varying amounts of protein with varying amino acid profiles, including leafy green vegetables, tubers, grains, legumes, and nuts. All the essential and nonessential amino acids are present in these foods in amounts that meet or exceed your needs. In 1914, studies on rats suggested that they grew best when fed a combination of plant foods whose amino acid patterns resembled that of animal protein. That makes sense, as all baby mammals, rats and humans included, grow best when fed the perfect food for baby mammals: their mother's milk. The term "complete protein" was coined to describe a protein in which all eight or nine essential amino acids are present in the same proportion that they occur in animals. "Incomplete protein" described the varying amino acid patterns in plants. It's a misleading term, because it suggest that humans (and other animals, one would assume) can't get enough essential amino acids to make protein from plants. Fortunately, the theory that plant proteins are somehow "incomplete" and therefore inadequate has been disproved. All unrefined foods have varying amounts of protein with varying amino acid profiles, including leafy green vegetables, tubers, grains, legumes, and nuts. All the essential and nonessential amino acids are present in any single one of these foods in amounts that meet or exceed your needs, even if you are an endurance athlete or body builder.
What makes the essential amino acids different from the non-essential amino acids?
Essential amino acids are those the body cannot produce. There are 20 basic amino acids. There are eight essential amino acids unless the individual is a phenylketonuric. There are nine essential amino acids for phenylketonurics as they cannot convert phenylalanine to tyrosine. Essential amino acids have to be taken into the body by eating. This answer is for informational purposes only. All individuals should ask advice of their physician.
Which functional group is within the compound shown below R NH2?
This is the group amine.
Is the moon a small planet?
You could describe it as that, but it would more properly be described as a natural satellite of Earth. Most moons are small planets, but are commonly referred to as satellites.
