Answer:

A. glycine (NH 2 CH 2 COOH).

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we understand amino acids as organic compounds that assemble to form high order molecules called proteins, therefore, they are the building blocks of life. Structurally, as shown on the first attached picture, they make up of both an amino group and a carboxily group having the organic chain below. In such a way, the only listed compound that matches with such the aforesaid definitions is glycine whose structure is shown on the other attached document.

Best regards.

Digiron [165]

<span>Answer: The HCl and KOH will react until one or the other is gone. As you have a larger volume of an equal concentration of HCl, the KOH will go first. moles HCl = 0.04000 L * 0.100 M = 0.00400 moles moles KOH = 0.02500 L * 0.100 M = 0.00250 moles moles HCl left = 0.00400 - 0.00250 = 0.00150 moles Your total volume is now 65.00 mL, so the [HCl] = 0.00150 moles / 0.06500 L = 0.0231 M = [H+] pH = -log [H+] = -log (0.0231) = 1.64</span>

What do proteins act as?

Tresset [83]

Proteins are made from long chains of smaller molecules called amino acids. These long chains are folded into particular shapes. This is important in relation to how antibodies and enzymes work.

Enzymes are biological catalysts. There are optimum temperatures and pH values at which their activity is greatest. Enzymes are also proteins. If the shape of an enzyme changes, it may no longer work (it is said to have been 'denatured'). maybe right?
