B.aromatic(F)
C.sulfur containing(Methionine)
D.Acidic(Aspartate)
E.Basic(ARG)
F.Polar (Q)
Can you check my answers, please? Thanks
Sure! Let's check your answers:
A. achiral (Glycine) - Correct! Glycine is the only achiral amino acid since it has a hydrogen atom as its side chain and does not have a chiral center.
B. aromatic (F) - Correct! Phenylalanine (abbreviated as "F") is the only amino acid with an aromatic side chain.
C. sulfur containing (Methionine) - Correct! Methionine contains a sulfur atom in its side chain, making it the only amino acid with a sulfur-containing group.
D. acidic (Aspartate) - Correct! Aspartate is one of the two acidic amino acids, along with glutamate, making it the correct choice for this property.
E. basic (ARG) - Correct! Arginine (abbreviated as "ARG") is one of the basic amino acids and has a positive charge in its side chain, making it the only choice for this property.
F. polar (Q) - Correct! Glutamine (abbreviated as "Q") is a polar amino acid due to the presence of a polar amide group in its side chain, making it the only option for this property.
Your answers are all correct! Well done! Let me know if you have any more questions.
