The characteristics of carbon compounds are they exist with different structures in which the atoms are arranged differently and it forms more compounds than other elements combined.

Explanation:

The carbon atom has atomic number 6 which represents the number of electrons. It is represented by C and it is a non- metal. It has 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons. They are smaller in size so that it can fit in to larger molecules.

It is the only element that can form different compounds because each carbon atoms can form four chemical bonds to other atoms.

The structure of carbon atom is represented with its atomic number 6. The first two electrons are present in inner shell and the remaining four are present in the second shell.

The carbon combines with oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen to form many molecules for cellular function. Carbon and hydrogen combine to form hydrocarbon chains and rings.

For example the structural formula for Methane (CH4)

<h2><u>Full Question:</u></h2>

In hemoglobin, a single amino acid change at position 6 from Glu to Val has major consequences on hemoglobin structure that makes the molecule defective leading to sickle cell anemia. Predict whether the following hypothetical change would or would not have a major effect at position 6. Briefly explain (1-2 sentences). Glu to Leu Hint: Look at the structures of the R groups and consider their chemical properties

<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

The structure of the haemoglobin, hence the RBC won't be same as normal.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Both the leucine and glutamic acid are alpha amino acids which have an alpha carboxylic acid group and an alpha amino group. The variable in case of glutamic acid is propyl acid while the variable in case of leucine is isobutyl.

The glutamic acid is the normal amino acid of the 6th position of Beta chain of hemoglobin. Its an acid group, so can form bonds with another base inside the haemoglobin, or can form other hydrogen bonds. But the isobutyl group is an alkyl group. So it doesn't have that much effect in the recovering the structure, and sickle cell anemia prevails.
