Biology
1 answer:
beks73 [17]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Beta-amyloid is a metabolic waste product that’s found in the fluid between brain cells (neurons). A build-up of beta amyloid is linked to impaired brain function and Alzheimer’s disease. In Alzheimer’s disease, beta-amyloid clumps together to form amyloid plaques, which hinder communication between neurons. Impaired sleep has been associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Lack of sleep has been shown to elevate brain beta-amyloid levels in mice

Hi everyone
professor190 [17]

Amino acids are acids on one hand, and a base on the other hand.

<h3>What is an acid?</h3>

An acid is a substance that produces hydrogen or hydroxonium ions as the only positively charged ion when it ionizes.

All amino acids have an amine group -NH_2 and a carboxylic group -COOH.

The carboxylic group ionizes such that:

COOH -- > COO^- + H^+

The presence of the amine group enables amino acids to also act as a base.
