A functional group on an amino acid that is polar and can become positively charged: ___________

Biology
1 answer:
tia_tia [17]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Amino group (NH3)

Explanation:

The amino acids have a central carbon atom to which four functional groups are bonded. These are namely a carboxyl group (COOH), an amino group (NH3), a hydrogen atom and an R group (it varies for different amino acids).

Amino group (NH3) is common to all the standard 20 amino acids. NH3 is a polar group since higher electronegativity of nitrogen atom allows it to pull the shared electrons of the covalent bonds towards itself. It makes the nitrogen atom of amino group partially negative and the hydrogen atoms carry a partial positive charge (a dipole is present).

Amino group (NH3) accepts one proton and becomes positively charged (NH4+).

What is the difference between arbitrary and natural levels? Why do these matter? (4) how do archaeologists recover the smallest
Vlada [557]

Arbitrary level refers to the fundamental vertical subdivision of an excavation square, implied only when easily identifiable natural strata are absent and when natural strata are more than ten centimeters thick.  

Natural strata refer to a vertical subdivision of an excavation square, which is reliant on the natural breaks in the sediments in terms of grain size, color, hardness, texture, or other features.  

It is important to know the difference between the arbitrary and natural levels as arbitrary levels could amalgamate artifacts from distinct natural levels, that is, of distinct geologic contexts.  

The archaeologists can recover the smallest ecofacts and artifacts with the assistance of flotation, screening, and bulk matrix processing

Salmonberry leaf cells contain 14 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will a new leaf cell contain after mitosis ?
Mama L [17]

Scientists can use cells from one organism to produce a genetically identical organism by
dlinn [17]
Scientists who do this are doing what is considered to be and called cloning. Cloning is exactly this - taking cells from one organism and trying to produce and recreate an identical (from a genetic perspective) organism.

This can be done in a routinely fashion but there are serious ethical considerations nowadays.
