Question

what are amino acids what is nucleotide nitrogen base and lipids also write the structure of amino acid?​

Answer 1

Answer:

An amino acid is an organic molecule that is made up of a basic amino group (−NH2), an acidic carboxyl group (−COOH), and an organic R group (or side chain) that is unique to each amino acid.

Answer 2

Description of Amino Acids

Organic compound containing an amino group and carboxyl group and both these are attached to some carbon atom called Alpha Carbon is know as Amino acids.

Twenty types of Amino acids present in Proteins.

Based on number of carboxylic group and amino group it can be classified as :-

• Acidic :- Glutamic acid
• Basic :- Arginine & Lysine
• Neutral :- Valine & Alanine

Arometic Amino Acid are tyrosine , phenylalanine, and tryptophan.

Amino acids can be ionizable into ziwitterionic form.

Description of Lipids

Generally water insoluable , containing C- H- O- , a fatty acid attached to carboxyl group with R Group.

The R Group may be methyl group (-CH3) or Ethyl (-C2H5) or higher no. of -CH2 group.

Examples include Palmitic acids with 19 carbons. another example of liquid is Glycerol which is Trihydroxypropane.

Nucleotide Defination

Nitrogen base + Sugar + Phosphate Group forms the nucleotides. Example of nucleotide include adenylic acid, Thymidlic acids, analec acid, uridylic acid, Cyticlylic acid.
