What is amina acid?
Did you mean: amino acid, this is a general name for hydrocarbon chain molecules with at least one amino group (-NH2) and one carboxyl group (-COOH). There are up to 20 different amino acid monomers present in proteins.
What elements are least reactive on the periodic table?
the noble gases are the least reactive(thats group 18) followed by group 14
Which group contains the least number of valence electrons?
group 2
Does group 7A of the periodic tables contain the least reactive nonmetals?
The halogen group is the MOST reactive nonmetal group.
Which of the group IVB 14 metals is the least active?
These elements are hafnium and zirconium.
Why do amino acids have peculiar structures?
I'm not sure what you mean by "peculiar". Amino acids are formed by an amino group, a carboxyl group, a central (linking) carbon, and a variable side group. The side group determines the distinctive amino acid.

Is egg a simple or complex carbohydrate?
It is a protein, a group of at least 50 amino acids bonded by peptide bonds
Is the amino group present in all amino acids?
no there r 20 different kinds of amino acids which differ from each other in chemical formula. all 20 amino acids have same NH2,H and COOH group, attached with C but they have different side chains due to which they are different in molecular formula..... Dr danial quddus.
What makes amino acids and proteins different from other hydrocarbon?
Amino acids have a central carbon, an amine group, a carboxyl group (the acid), and an R group, which means that they contain at least C, H, N, and O. Hydrocarbons contain only Carbon and Hydrogen, like C8H18, which is octane.
Is nitrogen in all amino acids'?
Yes all amino acids contain an amino group which contains nitrogen ---> -NH2 hence the name amino acid. This is a common group in all amno acids, it is only changes in the R group that leads to approximately 20 different naturally occurring amino acids in humans.
What building blocks are amino acids?
Proteins (chain of at least 100 amino acids) and Polypeptids (below that)
How many amino acids need to be joined together to form a protein?
At least two, otherwise it is just called an amino acid ;).
What is the structure of an amino acid?
Amino acid is consist of an amino group, attached to a carbon with a hydrogen bonded to it. The same alfa carbon is attached to a carboxylic acid and R(alkyl group) The general formula is as follows NH2-CHR-COO
What animal cells have the least mitochondria?
Cells that need more amino acids
What is the least diverse group of animals?
The least diverse group of animals is Insects.
Is beryllium the most or least reactive in its group?
Beryllium is the least reactive in the group 2.
