<span>Amino acids are the basic structural unit of all proteins. A 'free' amino acid (a single amino acid) always has:
an amino group -NH2,
a carboxyl group -COOH
a hydrogen -H
a chemical group or side chain -"R".
Since the amino acids (except glycine) have 4 different groups attached to the a-carbon, they are optically active stereoisomers (recall 23.101 Organic Chemistry) although only L-isomers are found in proteins.
At a neutral pH, both the amino and the carboxyl groups are ionised, giving what is termed the zwitterionic</span>
Answer:
Autotrophs, but not heterotrophs, can nourish themselves beginning with and other nutrients that are inorganic.
Explanation:
Unlike heterotrophs, autotrophs such as green plants, are able to synthesize their food (in form of sugar molecules) starting with inorganic molecules like atmospheric carbon dioxide, water in the presence of sunlight.
This is commonly known as photosynthesis. The equation is shown below
6CO2 + 6H2O --> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + Energy

<span>The hydrologic, rock and tectonic cycles are all interconnected. In the rock cycle, water moves regolith during EROSION, and the tectonic cycle resurfaces rock through UPLIFTING.
In short, the answer would : erosion, uplifting.
Hope this helps !
