Name 4 things attached to the center carbon in all amino acids

Biology

<span>Aminoacids have an amine (Nh2) group, a COOH group and a side-chain, joined by a center carbon: so the center carbon attaches to the N of the amine group, to the C of the COOH group, to another H and to the side-chain, which is different for each aminoacid (and it's usually written as "R")
I hope that my answer is helpful! Let me know if you need something more :)</span>

All amino acids have a center carbon. The center carbon has four different molecules attached to it, these are: AMINO GROUP [NH2], CARBOXYL GROUP [COOH], AN R GROUP [R] AND A HYDROGEN ATOM. There are twenty different amino acids in existence, each amino acid differ from another one based on their R groups. The R group is specific and unique to each amino acid. The center carbon in amino acid structure is also called alpha carbon.

maria [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

NADH and FADH2 are both electron carriers of the electron transport chain. NADH gives up its electrons starting from Complex I, which has a higher energy level compared to other complexes. Energy is given off to pump protons across the membrane by the time electrons are transferred to ComplexIII. More electrons are pumped across the membrane as electrons move to Complex IV. Because NADH commenced giving up its electrons from Complex I (higher energy level complex), more protons are pumped across the membrane gradient, which enables ATP synthase with more power to produce 3ATP molecules per NADH molecule.

On the other hand, 2 molecules of ATP are generated by FADH2 because it starts by giving up its electrons to ComplexII. It missed a chance to pump protons across the membrane when it passed Complex I. By the time the electrons reach Complex IV, less protons have been pumped. The lesser the protons to power ATP synthase, the lesser the ATP molecules produced.

BARSIC [14]
The lipid components of cellular membranes often include phospholipids and cholesterol. Phospholipids is made up of glycerol, fatty acids, phosphate and organic derivatives such phospho inositol and choline. Cholesterol is the component of the membrane lipid which determine the fluidity of the memebrane; it also participates in membrane singalling system.

miskamm [114]

The answer is A. More abundant marine species

Upwelling will cause the movement of nutrient-rich water to the ocean surface. This will makes the water to have more nutrient, so there will be more photosynthesis happens. Photosynthesis will produce more food, so the amount of marine species that could survive would be higher.
