What element do amino acids have that others don't?

Amino acids have an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH) in their chemical structure, which gives them their name. These functional groups are involved in forming peptide bonds and are essential for building proteins.


Why are amino acids called amino acids?

Amino acids are called amino acids because they contain an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxyl group (-COOH) in their chemical structure. These two functional groups are essential for the formation of proteins and are characteristic of all amino acids.


When proteins are made from amino acids is it a chemical or physical change?

The formation of proteins from amino acids is considered a chemical change. This is because new chemical bonds are formed between the amino acids during the process of protein synthesis, resulting in a new chemical compound with unique properties (the protein).


What is the chemical that comes from the breakdown of proteins?

The chemical that comes from the breakdown of proteins is amino acids. Proteins are made up of amino acids, and when proteins are broken down through digestion or cellular processes, these amino acids are released.


The chemical element found in all amino acids but not found in either carbohydrates or fats?

Nitrogen. The general formula for amino acids is NH2CHRCOOH. The empirical formula for carbohydrates (sugars) is CX(H2O)X while generally lipids are made up of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen. Some lipids are known in include nitrogen or phosphorus in their structures.
