Question
Which of the following fusion of molecules
establishes the backbone of an amino acid?
1. An alpha carbon, a carboxyl/carboxylic acid
group and, an amine/amino group
2. A phosphate group, an alcohol sugar like
glycerol and, a saturated and an unsaturated
fatty acid
3. An alpha carbon, a carboxyl/carboxylic acid
group, an amine/amino group, and an R group,
for example: the methyl group of the amino acid
alanine
4. An alpha carbon, a carboxylic acid group, an
amine/amino group and, an R group, for
example: hydrogen of the amino acid glycine
