Question

Which component makes each amino acid unique?
A. amino group
B. carboxyl group
C. R group
D. phosphate group

Answer 1

The best answer is R group.An R - group is a chemical group or side chain that is found attached to the central carbon in amino acids.All 20 amino acids share five basic characteristics among… The correct answer is the R group. Every amino acid is affected by variations within the R group, and it is this particular …

Answer 2

R group makes each amino acid unique.

• Each amino acid has a carbon atom at its "core" known as the carbon, and four groups are connected to it: a hydrogen atom, a - carboxyl group, a -amine group, and an R-group, also known as a side chain.
• The R-group is the only distinctive characteristic of each amino acid since the carbon, carboxyl, and amino groups are shared by all amino acids.
• (Proline's structure, in which the R-tail group's is joined to the amine, is a tiny exception to this rule.)
• The four distinct groups that are connected to all of the amino acids in proteins allow them to exist in two mirror image forms, L and D, with the exception of glycine, which has an R-group made up of a hydrogen atom.

Hence, the correct answer is R Group.
