What repeating units make up a protein fatty acids peptide acids amino acids carboxylic acids?
A protein is made up of chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Fatty acids are the building blocks of lipids, while peptides are made up of chains of amino acids but are shorter than proteins. Carboxylic acids are organic compounds that contain a carboxyl group.
Proteins contain what kind of acids?
All proteins are made up of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. An amino acid has a carboxylic acid functional group and an amine group. Some of the amino acids (such as aspartic acid and glutamic acid) has an extra carboxylic acid functional group in its side chain.
Is carboxylic acids inorganic?
No, all the carboxylic acids are organic because they contain carbon and hydrogen and have the living origin.
An organic monomer which serves as a building block of proteins?
An organic monomer that serves as a building block of proteins is an amino acid. Amino acids contain an amine group, a carboxylic acid group, and a side chain, which distinguishes one amino acid from another. When amino acids join together through peptide bonds, they form the primary structure of proteins.
What is difference between a carboxylic acid an ester and an amine?
Esters and amides are derivatives of carboxylic acids. Amines are alkylated derivatives of ammonia: carboxylic acid= R-COOH ester= R-COOR amide=R-CONH2 amine= R-NHR

Do carboxylic acids get oxisidized?
Yes, to peroxy carboxylic acids.

Is Carboxylic acid does this contain fat?
No, carboxylic acids are simply a class of organic acids. Some carboxylic acids are fatty acids but are not fats nor do they contain them. Amino acids, the building blocks of protein are also carboxylic acids. One of the most common carboxylic acids is acetic acid, commonly sold as vinegar.
Is nitrogen an essential component of proteins?
All proteins are compounds comprised of amino acids. Amino acids contain amine (-NH2) and carboxylic acid (-COOH) groups. Nitrogen is an essential component of the amine group in all proteins.
Can LiAlH4 reduce carboxylic acids?
Yes, LiAlH4 can reduce carboxylic acids to alcohols.
Does sodium borohydride reduce carboxylic acids?
No, sodium borohydride does not reduce carboxylic acids.
Do amino acids have protein?
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are simply chains of amino acids. I think you meant to ask do proteins have amino acids. Amino acids as the name indicates (Amino) have amine groups, carboxylic acid groups and a side chain that varies depending on the amino acid (20 differnet types).
When compared to sulfric acid how strong are carboxylic acids?
Carboxylic acids are weaker acids than sulfuric acid. This is because carboxylic acids have two weak acidic hydrogen atoms compared to sulfuric acid's strong acidic hydrogen atoms. This makes sulfuric acid a stronger acid than carboxylic acids.
Can sodium borohydride reduce carboxylic acids?
No, sodium borohydride cannot reduce carboxylic acids.
What building blocks contain N in addition to C H and O?
Proteins: They were made up of amino acids which is composed of Carboxylic group and an amino group.
Are glycine and carboxylic acid th same?
No, glycine is one of many different carboxylic acids. Carboxylic acids come in a wide variety ranging from formic acid to amino acids (which include glycine) and fatty acids.
