no; amino acids build protein and oxygen is not a protein.

oxygen is not built, but rather inhaled from the environment and then used in cellular respiration

Is oxygen present in amino acids?

Yes, amino acids will contain oxygen in their carboxyl group and might in its variable R group. The four types of amino acid side chains [R-groups] are i) non-polar (zero for 8) - no oxygen, ii) uncharged-polar - (5 out of 7 have oxygen), iii) charged-polar - both have oxygen, and iv) basic amino acids - zero for 3 have oxygen.


Which monomer would you use to build a protein?

Amino acid as acids and bases?

Amino acids are organic molecules which proteins are build from. There are twenty. However there is two amino acids which are acidic: Aspartic acid and glutamic acid.


What makes protiens?

The ingredients of a protein are amino acids. To build a protein we need to build a long chain of amino acids. There are 20 different types of amino acids, so there are lots of different protein chains we can build. Biologists give amino acids a code letter, as for DNA. This is much easier than writing out the whole name each time. For example, Mis methionine, Lis leucine, Fis phenylalanine (because Pis proline).
