In amino acids, the carboxyl group acts as an acid.

Answer: Option B

<u> Explanation: </u>

The molecular formula of the carboxyl group is -COOH. It is composed of one carbon atom bonded with oxygen atom and hydroxyl group.

During ionization process, it leads to the formation of two ions namely a positive ion called H^{+}, whereas a negative ion called COO^{-}. Due to the formation of H^{+} ions, which is nothing but a proton, the carboxyl group present in the amino acid act as an acid.

Answer:

Its the R group.

Explanation:

Every amino acid has an amino group, a carboxylic acid group, and a R group which varies from one amino acid to another amino acid. The R group can also be referred as side chain. There are 20 amino acids and they are the building blocks of proteins.

liubo4ka [24]

The correct answer is ionization.

Ionization refers to the procedure by which a molecule or an atom attains a negative or positive charge by losing or gaining electrons to produce ions, usually in combination with other chemical modifications.

Ionization can result due to the loss of an electron after collisions with other atoms, subatomic particles, molecules, and ions, or through the association with electromagnetic radiation.

What process exerts the pull on water molecules that is relayed from leaf to root via cohesion? what process exerts the pull on
marissa [1.9K]

Evaporation of the water is the process that exerts the pull on water molecules that is relayed from leaf to root via cohesion. The pressure of the water present in the leaves becomes less due to evaporation of water. The pressure of water in the roots and lower part of the shoot is high. This gradient of pressure creates a pull on the water molecules present in the roots to move upwards to the leaves to occupy the vacant space. The whole process is called transpiration.
