- Amino Acids
- Proteins
- Monomers
- Monomer of proteins
- Amino group one end Acid group other end
- H R O N - C - C H H OH
- Double bond between CO group
- R group: amino acid
- Plants make own amino acids
- Converted into amino group
- Bond to photosynthesis products
- Converted into amino group
- Plants make own amino acids
- H R O N - C - C H H OH
- Animals cant make own amino acids
- Need to take proteins in as apart of diet
- Essential amino acids
- Amino acids are toxic
- Must be excreted
- Deamination: converted from urea to urine
- Must be excreted
- Cant be stored
- Need to take proteins in as apart of diet
- Peptide bonds
- Amino acids are joined by them
- Condensation reaction forms covalent bonds
- Between monomers
- Dipeptide molecule formed
- Condensation reaction forms covalent bonds
- Between monomers
- O H C + N OH H
- =
- O H C - - - N
- =
