<span>Aminoacids have an amine (Nh2) group, a COOH group and a side-chain, joined by a center carbon: so the center carbon attaches to the N of the amine group, to the C of the COOH group, to another H and to the side-chain, which is different for each aminoacid (and it's usually written as "R")
I hope that my answer is helpful! Let me know if you need something more :)</span>

All amino acids have a center carbon. The center carbon has four different molecules attached to it, these are: AMINO GROUP [NH2], CARBOXYL GROUP [COOH], AN R GROUP [R] AND A HYDROGEN ATOM. There are twenty different amino acids in existence, each amino acid differ from another one based on their R groups. The R group is specific and unique to each amino acid. The center carbon in amino acid structure is also called alpha carbon.

Why would it be advantageous to have more or fewer bones in the pectoral girdle?
True [87]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>It is advantageous to have  lesser number of bones in the pectoral girdle.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Pectoral girdle is made up by the bones that connect the upper limbs to the appendicular skeleton  which includes all the limb bones. Pectoral girdle in humans is made up of two bones. They are clavicle (collar bone) and scapula. The pectoral girdle allows the free movement of upper limbs.

The bones of pectoral girdle are not as massive as the bones of pelvic girdle since it doesn’t have the function of support. Lesser number of bones in pectoral girdle makes  movement of upper limbs more free.
