Answer to Problem 6STP
Correct answer: The element that is not present in an amino acid is phosphorus.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for correct option: Amino acids are the smaller molecules that make up a protein. The molecules of amino acids are composed of carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen. There are
Every amino acid consists of two functional groups that are amino group and the
When two amino acids combine, they release a water molecule along with the formation of protein via a condensation reaction. The bond that links amino acid units together is known as a peptide bond.
Since an amino acid is composed of all the given elements except phosphorus. Thus, the element that is absent in amino acid is phosphorus.
Reasons for incorrect options: The elements such as carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen make up an amino acid.
