I found this info if this is what you need link http://www.answers.com/Q/What_are_the_functional_groups_of_amino_acids
Two functional groups are found in all amino acids. These functional groups are the
amino group
(-NH2) and the
carboxyl group
(-COOH). The hydrogen atom of the carboxyl group can be broken off quite easily; this gives amino acids their acidic properties.
Function of amino acids?
Heat and Energy, Growth, To defend against disease, and to Repair bodily cells are the functions of amino acids/ proteins.
Amino acids contain a carboxyl group?
Yes, amino acids contain: 1) an amino group (-NH 2 ) 2) a central carbon and variable side group 3) a carboxyl group (-COOH)
What is the function of amino acids?
Amino acids are nitrogen-containing molecules that serve vitalfunctions in your body. Twenty-two amino acids occur in nature, and20 of these are incorporated into proteins and other moleculeswithin the cells and tissues of plants and animals. According toscientists at the University of Arizona, your body can synthesize10 of the amino acids you need, while the other 10 must be acquiredfrom your diet. Amino acids that cannot be produced within yourcells are called essential amino acids. http://www.livestrong.com/article/426255-what-is-the-function-of-amino-acids-in-the-human-body/
What is the amino group on an amino acid?
The amino group is present at one end of the amino acid and is represented by the chemical formula NH 3 The region on the amino acid that contains the amino group is called the amino terminal
Amino acid function?
Amino acids are basically known as the building blocks of protein.The function of an amino acid is primarily to build proteins.
Answer:
False
Explanation:
Approximately 200 out of 200 million sperms ejaculated during intercourse reach the general vicinity of the egg. They sperms must undergo capacitation during which dilute inhibitory factors fluids of the female reproductive tract weaken the membrane of the sperm head so that head of the sperm can be broken easily when it came in contact with the egg.
The first sperm to reach an egg isn’t the one to fertilize it because the egg is surrounded by a gelatinous membrane called the zona pellucida. Outside this layer, a layer of small granulosa cells also present.
Therefore, it requires numerous sperm to clear a path through these barriers before one of them can penetrate the egg and fertilize it.
B is correct. A tendon will join a muscle to a bone, and a ligament joins a bone to another bone. I think of it this way, partly influenced by my biology teacher:
- The achilles tendon, at the back of your foot, clearly joins foot to calf muscle
- The word ligament comes from 'deligare' in Latin, which roughly means to tie together. A ligament 'ties' two bones together

Hi there!
The racial category closest to Eskimos, would be Native American.
Hope this helps!
