Answer 25

serine threonine HYDROCARBON SIDE CHAIN W HYDROXYL (OH) large dipole moment, fairly polar

Question 26

what amino acids are in the basic group

Answer 26

lysine arginine histidine HAS NH+ large dipole moment, hydrophilic, soluble. At neutral pH, electron acceptors and positively charged

Question 27

what amino acids are in the acidic and uncharged derivatives group

Answer 27

aspartate glutamate asparagine glutamine ACIDIC (1st 2) HAVE DIPOLE MOMENT, hydrophilic, negatively charged UNCHARGED have carboxylate in the side chain, have a dipole that makes them hydrophilic
