perhaps more specificity is needed. The favourite molecule of the brain I would say is glucose as it can only eat glucose and therefore craves it. However you may be asking about neurotransmitters which is not an area I am familiar with. Glucose is a Carbohydrate, more specificially it is a monosaccharide. It is also an aldohexose (6 carbon molecule with an aldehyde group).
What else can I help you with?
Which class of molecule contains the amino group NH2?
proteins !
What does phosphorylation do for a molecule?
it adds a phosphate group Phosphorylation is the addition of a phosphate (PO43−) group to a protein or other organic molecule.
What functional groups are present in the molecule responsible for the flavor of cinnamon?
Aldehyde (functional group). The molecule responsible is cinnamaldehyde.
Is hydroxyl group basic?
No, the hydroxyl group is not basic. It is a functional group that contains an oxygen atom bonded to a hydrogen atom, and its presence in a molecule does not make it basic. The basicity of a molecule is determined by the presence of basic functional groups such as amino groups.
What type of organic molecule always includes a sugar at least one phosphate group and a base?
A nucleic acid always contains sugar molecules, phosphate groups, and nitrogen bases. A single nucleotide contains one sugar molecule, one phosphate group, and one nitrogen base. A DNA nucleotide contains one deoxyribose sugar molecule, one phosphate group, and one nitrogen base, which could be any of the following: adenine, thymine, guanine, or cytosine. An RNA nucleotide contains one ribose sugar molecule, one phosphate group, and one nitrogen base, which could be any of the following: adenine, uracil, guanine, or cytosine.
What functional group does the molecule below contain?
The molecule contains a carboxylic acid functional group.
What functional groups are present in the molecule and how are they labeled?
The molecule contains a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a carboxyl group (-COOH). The hydroxyl group is labeled as "A" and the carboxyl group is labeled as "B".
What is any molecule that contains hydrogen and carbon?
Any molecule that contains hydrogen and carbon is an organic compound. If the molecule contains no other elements, it is also a hydrocarbon.
Which class of molecule contains the amino group NH2?
proteins !
What molecule never contains a phosphate group?
Quite a few fit that description (including water, carbon dioxide, borane etc.)
What part of a nucleotide contains phosphorus?
The phosphate group of a nucleotide contains phosphorus. It is attached to the sugar molecule in a nucleotide structure, along with a nitrogenous base.
Is ethyl alcohol a polar or non polar?
Ethyl alcohol (ethanol) is a polar molecule. This is because ethanol contains a polar hydroxyl (-OH) functional group, which creates an uneven distribution of charge within the molecule, leading to positive and negative regions.
Which part of a phospholipid molecule contains a phosphate group?
Phospholipid molecule is actually almost similar to a lipid molecule. It is a alcohol connected to 2 fatty acids and a phosphate group.(In lipids, its connected to 3 fatty acids)
What does phosphorylation do for a molecule?
it adds a phosphate group Phosphorylation is the addition of a phosphate (PO43−) group to a protein or other organic molecule.
What functional groups are present in the molecule responsible for the flavor of cinnamon?
Aldehyde (functional group). The molecule responsible is cinnamaldehyde.
How does the presence of a phenyl group affect the electron-withdrawing properties of a molecule?
The presence of a phenyl group in a molecule increases its electron-withdrawing properties. This is because the phenyl group contains a delocalized pi-electron system, which can withdraw electrons from the rest of the molecule, making it more electron-deficient.
Are the parts of a nucleotide?
A DNA nucleotide contains a deoxyribose sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.
