Answer:
At physiological pH,the carboxylic acid group of an amino acid will be deprotonated while the amino group will be protonated,yielding the zwitter ion form.
Explanation:
Deprotonated means removal of protons in an acid base reaction and protonated means addition of protons in an acid base reaction.
Both protonated and de protonated reaction takes place in catalytic acid bade reaction by changing either it's mass or it's charge.
During formation of zwitter ion, the carboxylic acid will be deprotonated by donating the H+ ion while the amino acid is protonated by taking the H+ ion.
R-CH-COOH R-CH-COO-
I ⇒ I
NH₂ NH₃ (Zwitter ion)
Answer: False
Explanation: The nucleus of an atom only contains the protons and neutrons.
The electrons are not found in the nucleus,
they are orbiting the nucleus in different shells.
Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
Backbone in a nucleic acids strand is made up of sugar molecules attached with phosphodiester bond.
This sugar-phosphate linkage helps in joining of nucleotides in a DNA sequence. Due to this backbone structural framework of nucleotides is formed. In DNA, the sugar is deoxyribose.
Thus, we can conclude that the backbone in a nucleic acids strand is called sugar backbone.
