Describe what might happen to an amino group or a carboxyl group of an amino acid, if that amino acid is placed into water.

Amino acids are the monomers that makeup proteins. This amino acid is unionized, but if it were placed in water at pH 7, its amino group would pick up another hydrogen and a positive charge, and the hydroxyl in its carboxyl group would lose and hydrogen and gain a negative charge.

Explanation:

Each amino acid has the same fundamental structure, which consists of a central carbon atom, also known as the alpha (α) carbon, bonded to an amino group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), and to a hydrogen atom. In the aqueous environment of the cell, both the amino group and the carboxyl group are ionized under physiological conditions, and so have the structures -NH3+ and -COO–, respectively. Every amino acid also has another atom or group of atoms bonded to the central atom known as the R group. This R group, or side chain, gives each amino acid protein-specific characteristics, including size, polarity, and pH.

Hope this helps!

A spring is a natural discharge point of subterranean water at the surface of the ground or directly into the bed of a stream, lake, or sea. Water that emerges at the surface without a perceptible current is called a seep. Wells are holes excavated to bring water and other underground fluids to the surface.

The seed consists of three components: embryo, endosperm (sometimes perisperm), and seed-coat. Both endosperm and embryo are the products of double fertilization, whereas the seed-coat develops from the maternal, ovular tissues. The seed habit is a significant advancement in the evolution of higher plants.

Anatomy of seed :-

Seed storage proteins provide a source of amino acids and reduced N necessary for germination and early growth of the seedling.
