BiomoleculesPart 1 Complete the following statements with one of the words listed below Notice that there are more words than necessary to fill up all the blanks Some words might be used more than once Proteins are the Proteins are biological molecules occurring in of amino acids Amino acids are molecules that contain two group and a group An cannot be diet At physiological respectively protonated and All amino acids have a central carbon called the amino group and the carboxyl group of amino acid are an amino amino acid indispensable amino acid is an amino acid that by the organism and therefore must be supplied in its different amino acids are commonly found in proteins For all the common amino acids except different groups to the carbon is bonded Because of the tetrahedral arrangement of the four groups around the carbon atom these four different groups can occupy two unique spatial arrangements and thus each amino acid has two possible The amino acid residues in protein molecules are exclusively Amino acids are divide in three classes based on the polarity of their R group and steroisomers
