Answer:

The correct option is: b. the side chain

Explanation:

Amino acids are biomolecules that contain an alpha-carbon (α-C) attached to two functional groups- carboxyl group (-COOH) and amine group (-NH₂), and an organic side chain (-R).

The carboxyl and amine functional groups are common in all amino acids but the side chain is distinctive to each amino acid.

Thus the amino acids can be easily classified on the basis of the properties of this organic side chain.

Therefore, the various amino acids have different side chains.

When snow melts does its volume decrease or increase?

kompoz [17]

The volume of the snow decreases. This had happened because the snow is made up or comprised of water (H2O) and oxygen (O). When the snow starts melting, the air inside the snow discharges into the atmosphere and the water turn out to be a puddle on the ground.
