I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option C. <span>An amino acid contains an amino group, a carboxyl group, and an R group, and it combines with other amino acids to form polypeptide chains. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

According to the way you defined the image, the right answer is C. Amino Acid.

The amino acids found in proteins all have the same basic structure: they are oriented around a central carbon atom, the α-carbon, on which the carboxyl group (-COOH) is articulated, the amino group (-NH2). ), a hydrogen atom (-H) and a lateral group (denoted -R). It is the nature of this lateral group (also called side chain) which differentiates the amino acids between them.

The central α-carbon is therefore asymmetrical in all cases except that of glycine (because glycine has a hydrogen instead of a side chain). This means that it is possible to have two different conformations of the same amino acid conformations that can not be interconverted without breaking and reassembling covalent bonds. These conformations L and D are designated. Although both can be synthesized in the same chemical reaction, only the L-form is used in the proteins.

MArishka [77]

Answer:

Fertilizers replace the nutrients that crops remove from the soil. Without the addition of fertilizers, crop yields and agricultural productivity would be significantly reduced. That's why mineral fertilizers are used to supplement the soil's nutrient stocks with minerals that can be quickly absorbed and used by crops

Which sensory system(s) have receptors which die after awhile because it/they have direct exposure to the environment?\?
Anika [276]
The OLFACTORY AND THE GUSTATORY SYSTEMS have receptors which die out after sometimes because of direct exposure to the environment.
The olfactory system has to do with the perception of smell while the gustatory system has to do with taste stimuli. For these two basic sense organs, their perception rate is always highest when they are newly exposed to a stimuli, after continuous exposure to the stimuli their receptors die out.
