False. A peptide bond joins the carboxyl group of one amino acid to the amino group of another amino acid.


Which is false about amino groups They contain nitrogen They are non polar They are components of urea They are found in amino acids They are basic in pH?

The false statement is: They are nonpolar. Amino groups contain nitrogen and are polar because of the electronegativity difference between nitrogen and hydrogen. They are components of urea and amino acids, and they can act as a base in pH due to their ability to accept protons.


True or False 'Addition or removal of phosphate groups to amino acids with alcohol groups represents a mechanism by which protein activity can be regulated.'?

True. Phosphorylation, which is the addition or removal of phosphate groups to amino acids with alcohol groups, is a common post-translational modification that can regulate protein activity by changing its structure and function.

What are the two functional groups of amino acid?

Amino acids are of different types e.g. acidic,basic,neutral, imino ,and sulpher containing etc but all types of amino acids possess two functional groups. These functional groups are amino group and carboxylicgroup. An amino group is chemically NH2 , it is a basic group. Other functional group is carboxylic group which is chemically COOH , it is acidic in nature, Functional group is part of molecule that gives it ,its specific chemical characters.Presence of these groups makes amino acid amphoteric.
