All the amino acids contain carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.
The amino acids generally considered "nonessential" for adult humans are alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid, cysteine, glutamic acid, glutamine, glycine, proline, serine, and tyrosine. People with certain disorders may need some of these in their diets. For example, most humans can make tyrosine from phenylalanine, but people with PKU cannot, so it's essential that they get it in their diet.
Amino acid monomers make up a polypeptide chain which folds into it's particular shape, based on amino acid sequences, to make a protein
there are twenty two amino acid in body out of which eight are essential because they are not synthesise in body and they make other amino acid by metabolism.
amino acid
No, they are the building blocks of protiens, or they make the proteins.
l cysteine as far as I know is an amino acid...found in human hair etc.....used to bond certain chemicals etc but I believe since this amino acid is found in food a few years back they outlawed the use of it unless it was scientifically engineered etc....so now they make it in a lab and they no longer use human hair...as far as I know....
Polypeptides are (relatively short) strands of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.
Amino acids ARE monomers- of Proteins: a polymer. Elements C,H,O,N and sometimes s and p make it up..
The R group in an amino acid are what make that amino acid unique.
An amino acid is a molcule, a collection of atoms including hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen amonst others. The periodic table is a table of the elements so the element sthat make up amino acids a present in it but not the molecules.

Deletion of just one nucleotide in a protein-coding part of a gene will cause a "frameshift mutation." Since the nucleotides are read in groups of three (codons) along the gene, the groupings will change and the protein that results is likely to be completely different.
Both humans and bacteria need folic acid to grow. While folic acid can cross the membrane of a human cell and enter the cell, it cannot cross the cell wall of bacteria, according to Charles Ophardt, Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of the Department of Chemistry at Elmhurst College in the "Virtual Chembook." Thus, bacteria have to make their own folic acid. They will then use the folic acid to make DNA, RNA and methionine. Methionine is an amino acid that is used to make various substances like cysteine, another amino acid, and S-adenosyl methionine, a substance used in many biochemical reactions.
Amino Acids that make protein, are essenstial for cellular regeneration. Alanine Arginine Asparagine Aspartic acid Cysteine Glutamic acid Glutamine Glycine Histidine Isoleucine Leucine Lysine Methionine Phenylalanine Proline Serine Threonine Tryptophan Tyrosine Valine
