The presence of what group differentiates most amino acids from each other?

Biology

Karolina [17]3 years ago

 <span>Amino acids are the basic structural unit of all proteins. A 'free' amino acid (a single amino acid) always has: 
an amino group -NH2, 
a carboxyl group -COOH 
a hydrogen -H 
a chemical group or side chain -"R". 
Since the amino acids (except glycine) have 4 different groups attached to the a-carbon, they are optically active stereoisomers (recall 23.101 Organic Chemistry) although only L-isomers are found in proteins. 
At a neutral pH, both the amino and the carboxyl groups are ionised, giving what is termed the zwitterionic</span>

iragen [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

The fatty acyl group condensed with CoA in the cytosol is first transferred to carnitine, releasing CoA and then transported to the mitochondrion, where it is condensed with CoA again. CoA cytosolic and mitochondrial pools are therefore kept separate and no radioactive CoA enters the mitochondrion from the cytosolic pool.

Which of these is unique to flowering plants?haploid gametophytes,an embryo surrounded by nutritive tissue,double fertilization,
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

double fertilization

Explanation:

Flowering plants or angiosperms are seed-producing plants with the ability to produce reproductive organs-flowers and fruits with seed in it (unlike gimnosperms which contain naked seed). Another distinctive feature of angiosperms is their reduced gametophytes. This feature most likely reduces the time between pollination and fertilization. Fertilization in flowerin plants is double, meaning that two sperm cells fertilize ovule cells(egg cell and central nuclei cell): one forms diploid zygote which will develop in embryo, while other form triploid cell which will develop into endosperm (provides nutrition for the embryo).
