What else can I help you with?
Amino acids include a side group as well as?
a central carbon, a hydrogen atom, an amino group, and a carboxyl group
What are the 3 groups of atoms that make up amino acids called?
Amino group(NH2), Carboxyl group(CO2), and the side chain, represented by 'R' H .....H ....O ..\ ....| ...// ...N--C--C ../.... | ...\ H..... R ....O-
Describe a generalised structure of amino acids?
Amino acids have a generalised structure consisting of an amino group (-NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH), and a side chain represented by the letter "R". The side chain can vary among different amino acids, giving them distinct chemical properties. The central carbon atom (alpha carbon) connects the amino group, carboxyl group, and the side chain, forming the backbone of the amino acid.
Do saturated fatty acids contain a carboxyl group?
No double bonds. A saturated fat has hydrocarbon chains that are close together. An unsaturated fat contains double bonds in the hydrocarbon chains which makes a kink in the chain. This makes them sit farther apart and thus more liquid than saturated hydrocarbons.
What is the functional group called a carboxyl?
A carboxyl functional group consists of a carbonyl group and a hydroxyl group bonded to the same carbon atom. It is represented as -COOH and is acidic in nature due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, making it capable of donating a proton. Carboxyl groups are commonly found in organic acids such as acetic acid and amino acids.
Which of the following is not attached to the central carbon atom in an amino acid?
In an amino acid, the central carbon atom is attached to an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and an R group (side chain). Therefore, the central carbon atom is not attached to a phosphate group in an amino acid.
How can carboxylic acids be named according to the IUPAC nomenclature system?
Carboxylic acids are named in the IUPAC nomenclature system by replacing the -e at the end of the parent alkane name with -oic acid. The carbon in the carboxyl group is assigned the number 1 in the chain, and the longest carbon chain containing the carboxyl group is used as the parent chain. Substituents are named and numbered based on their position in the chain.
Does a carboxyl group contain nitrogen?
No. A carboxyl group is made up off carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen.

Fatty acids and amino acids both contain?
Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Fatty acids also contain a carboxyl group (COOH) and a hydrocarbon chain, while amino acids contain an amino group (NH2) and a side chain specific to each amino acid.
What functional group is in lysine?
The functional group in lysine is an amino group (-NH2) which is part of its side chain.
Which end of a molecule of FAt would attract the H end of HI?
Generally, a fatty acid consists of a straight chain of an even number of carbon atoms, with hydrogen atoms along the length of the chain and at one end of the chain and a carboxyl group (―COOH) at the other end. It is that carboxyl group that makes it an acid (carboxylic acid).
Molecule with only a carboxyl group C H O?
The molecule with only a carboxyl group is called formic acid, with the formula HCOOH. It consists of a carboxyl group, COOH, where the hydrogen atom is attached to the carbon and the hydroxyl group (-OH) is attached to the same carbon.
Describe a generalised structure of amino acids?
Amino acids have a generalised structure consisting of an amino group (-NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH), and a side chain represented by the letter "R". The side chain can vary among different amino acids, giving them distinct chemical properties. The central carbon atom (alpha carbon) connects the amino group, carboxyl group, and the side chain, forming the backbone of the amino acid.
What consists of an amino group a carboxyl group and a side chain?
An amino acid consists of an amino group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), and a unique side chain (R group) attached to a central carbon atom. The side chain varies among different amino acids and determines their specific properties and functions. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins and play vital roles in various biological processes.
-cho group can not be represent in middle of chain. why?
CHO is aldehyde group and carbon has only one vacant valency so its attachment is only possible at the terminal of carbon chain.
