What part of the amino acid in the center of the diagram is the amino group |
NH, nitrogen is bonded to hydrogen |
|
|
Is a protein a monomer or a polymer? define the term in your answer |
polymer- made up of many smaller repeating subunits called monomers. |
|
|
The amino acid shown is a monomer. What type of polymer forms when an amino acid bonds. |
polypeptide or a protein |
|
|
how many covalent bonds does a central carbon atom form? Can it form more? |
4, and no. |
|
|
The arrows point to bonds that form between amino acids, what are these bonds called? What is the name of the chain that is formed between these bonds? |
peptide bond and polypeptide |
|
|
If the figure were to show a particular amino acid for example serine what part of the diagram would it change? Why? |
R group or radical bc it changes for every type of amino acid. |
|
|
What can happen if there is one wrong amino acid in a protein? |
changes the structure and the function. |

Essay answer: |
covalent bond is a bond that forms when 2 atoms share 1 or more pairs of electrons. carbon can from covalent bonds w/ up to 4 other atoms to form rings and chains. These rings and chains can bond w/ each other to form larger molecules. Carbs-usable energy lipids-stored energy proteins-cell structure or enzyme nucleic acids- genetic info |
