Question
the diagram shows the general structure of an amino acid. several different 3 points amino acids join together to form a protein. how do any two types of amino acids differ from one another? general structure of amino acids amino group carboxyl group the chemical structure of the r group in the molecule the number of chemical bonds formed by the central carbon atom the number of amino groups in the molecule the number of carboxyl groups in the molecule
Amino acids have a common structure with an amino group, a carboxyl group, a hydrogen atom, and an R group attached to the central carbon. The amino group and carboxyl group are the same in most amino acids. The central carbon always forms four bonds (to amino group, carboxyl group, hydrogen, and R group). The key difference between amino acids lies in the R group. The R group (side - chain) can be non - polar, polar, acidic, or basic, giving each amino acid its unique properties.
