What else can I help you with?
A protein consisting of six amino acids undergoes hydrolysis How many water molecules must be broken down and reattached to amino acid molecules during this process?
Five. One molecule of water will be used to break each bond between the amino acids. Since there are five bonds, then five molecules of water will be required for the hydrolysis of this peptide.
Is water hydrophobic?
no, that would mean water molecules are not attracted to other water molecules
What is The relationship between a polypeptide bond and a peptide bond?
a polypeptide is a a sequence of amino acids covalently bonded together by a peptide bond. The peptide bond is formed when two adjacent amino acids come together by way of condensation reaction (loss of a water molecule) to form the covalent bond between them.
A cell is like a water balloon filled with objects the water surrounds the objects giving the balloon its shape what is the water substance called in a cell and what does it contain?
cytoplasm, containing 90% water, ions,sugars, amino acids, and ATP
Describe the role of energy when ice melts and when vapor condences to form liquid water?
When water molecules melt, energy is absorbed. When water molecules evaporate, energy is also absorbed. When water molecules condense energy is released. When water molecules freeze energy is also released.
What is the difference between polar and nonpolar amino acids as shown in the amino acids chart?
Polar amino acids have a charge or partial charge, making them hydrophilic and able to interact with water. Nonpolar amino acids lack a charge and are hydrophobic, repelling water. This difference affects how amino acids interact with other molecules in biological processes.
The subunits of proteins are?
The subunits of proteins are called amino acids. Amino acid molecules are smaller than protein molecules and are inside of the protein molecules.Amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds where the -COOH group and the -NH2 group of two consecutive amino acids bond with the loss of a water molecule. The sequence of the amino acids make up the primary structure of the protein.Proteins are made of amino acids.

How many molecules of water are used up in the COMPLETE breakdown of a polypeptide that is 15 amino acids in length?
In the complete breakdown of a polypeptide, one water molecule is used for each peptide bond formed between amino acids during the process of hydrolysis. For a 15-amino acid polypeptide, there are 14 peptide bonds formed between amino acids, leading to the consumption of 14 molecules of water during the breakdown.
Is amino acids soluble in water?
Yes, amino acids are generally soluble in water due to their polar nature. This solubility allows them to interact with water molecules through hydrogen bonding, making them readily dissolve in aqueous environments.

Five. One molecule of water will be used to break each bond between the amino acids. Since there are five bonds, then five molecules of water will be required for the hydrolysis of this peptide.
Water bonds to what water?
Amino, amino acids.
Any what can be used by the body for the synthesis of a nonessential amino acid except?
The body can use various precursor molecules such as glucose, fatty acids, and other amino acids for the synthesis of nonessential amino acids, excluding water which is not a direct precursor for amino acid synthesis.
How do hydrophobic amino acids and hydrophilic amino acids cause proteind to have a specific shape?
Hydrophobic amino acids tend to cluster together in the interior of a protein to avoid contact with water, which helps to stabilize the protein's structure. Hydrophilic amino acids are found on the surface of the protein, interacting with water molecules to maintain solubility and functionality. This segregation of hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids contributes to the specific three-dimensional shape of the protein.
How many molecules of water are formed when 4 amino acids bond?
For every peptide bond there is one water molecule
What are the subunites of protein?
The subunits of proteins are called amino acids. Amino acid molecules are smaller than protein molecules and are inside of the protein molecules.Amino acids are joined together by peptide bonds where the -COOH group and the -NH2 group of two consecutive amino acids bond with the loss of a water molecule. The sequence of the amino acids make up the primary structure of the protein.There are proteins composed of one long polypeptide chain (which means lots of amino acids linked). There are also proteins, like hemoglobin, which are made up of two or more polypeptide chains, joined together.For example, "tetramer" refers to a protein with four subunits, or four different polypeptide chains.
How many molecules of water are formed when four amino acids join?
Three water molecules are formed when four amino acids join together through a process called condensation or dehydration synthesis. Each amino acid has a carboxyl group (-COOH) and an amino group (-NH2), and when they combine, a water molecule is removed for each bond formed between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another.
