What acids are present in sweat?

The main acids present in sweat are lactic acid and amino acids. Lactic acid is produced when muscles break down glucose for energy during exercise, while amino acids are naturally occurring compounds in the body. These acids contribute to the slightly acidic pH of sweat.


Why do some acids not contain oxygen?

Some acids do not contain oxygen because the acidic properties are due to the presence of hydrogen ions. For example, hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a strong acid but does not contain oxygen. Acids can also be defined based on their ability to donate protons, regardless of the presence of oxygen.


Many of the molecules in living cells are so large that they are known as?

macromolecules. These include proteins, nucleic acids (DNA and RNA), carbohydrates, and lipids, which are essential for the structure and function of living cells.


Is protein made up of nucleic acids?

No, proteins are not made up of nucleic acids. Proteins are composed of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds, while nucleic acids are made up of nucleotides and are involved in genetic information storage and gene expression.


Why carboxylic acids are weak acid?

Carboxylic acids are weak acids because they do not completely dissociate in water, meaning they do not release all of their protons. This is due to the stabilizing resonance effect of the carboxyl group, which helps to hold onto the proton. Additionally, the electronegative oxygen atom in the carboxyl group attracts electrons, making it harder for the proton to dissociate.
