Answer: CALCIUM

Amino acids are organic molecules that, when linked together with other amino acids, form a protein. Amino acids are essential to life because the proteins they form are involved in virtually all cell functions. Some proteins function as enzymes, some as antibodies, while others provide structural support. Although there are hundreds of amino acids found in nature, proteins are constructed from a set of 20 amino acids. Generally, amino acids have the following structural properties:

A carbon (the alpha carbon)

A hydrogen atom (H)

A Carboxyl group (-COOH)

An Amino group (-NH2)

A "variable" group or "R" group

All amino acids have the alpha carbon bonded to a hydrogen atom, carboxyl group, and amino group. The "R" group varies among amino acids and determines the differences between these protein monomers. The amino acid sequence of a protein is determined by the information found in the cellular genetic code. The genetic code is the sequence of nucleotide bases in nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) that code for amino acids. These gene codes not only determine the order of amino acids in a protein, but they also determine a protein's structure and function.

arsen [322]

<u>Answer:</u> The given reaction is a "Dehydration Synthesis Reaction".

<u>Explanation:</u>

In chemical science the antonym of hydration is dehydration reaction which is a common process of conversion take place by involving loss of water from reacting molecule or ion. For an instance the dehydration process help in formation of disaccharide (sucrose) from two monosaccharides (glucose + fructose) as given in reaction.

Some other examples are like conversion of an acid and an alcohol into an ester and reaction called as "Fischer–Speier esterification", Conversion of an alcohol to alkene etc. Normally dehydration is followed by heating or leaving at room temperature, although it is a time taking process. Some common dehydrating agents are like alumina and sulfuric acid for organic synthesis.
