Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional units. They have a side chain and this side chain determines if an amino acid is basic or neutral. The acidic ones have acidic side chain and the basic ones have a basic side chain at neutral pH.

Arginine, lysine, and histidine are the basic ones. Aspartate and glutamate are the acidic ones. Glutamic acid is the one shown in the figure. Acidic amino acid have more Carboxyl group than amino group . Basic amino acids like lysine (shown in the figure in your question) have side chains that resemble ammonia which is basic.

Which, if any, of the blood samples tested can be patient with Type B+ blood recieve?
seropon [69]

Answer:

Type B+ can only receive blood from a donor that has blood type B and AB with Rhesus positive or negative.

Explanation:

The blood group system classification is based on the presence or the absence of antigens on the surface of the red blood cells. thus the blood group system is divided into four main blood group types/antigens present. During blood transfusion, the donated blood must be compatible with the patient blood type.

In blood transfusion, patient who is Rh positive can receive blood from donor who is Rh negative, but those with negative blood types cannot receive from anyone with a positive blood type but only the Rh- blood.

Donors with blood type A can donate blood to recipients with blood types A and AB

Donors with blood type B can give blood to recipients with blood types B and AB

Donors with blood type AB can donate to recipients with blood type AB only

Donors with blood type O can give blood to recipients with all blood types A, B, AB and O.
