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.

pancreas - is an endocrine and exocrine gland that secretes juices with enzymes for digestion. salivary glands- with protection and digestion in the mouth. liver- secretes bile for digestion. lachrymal glands - secrete tears to moisten eyes and protect them from particles and infection. sweat gland -regulates water, salt, and temperature. oil glands - to form a protective barrier on the skin. goblet cells - secrete mucus for protection.

Answer from: Quest

answer: zinc is the substance which has a volume of 1.38 $cm^{3}$ .

density is defined as the mass of an object per unit volume.

it can be calculated by dividing mass of a substance by its volume i.e. $density = \frac{mass}{volume}$

si unit of density is kg per cubic meter and cgs unit of the same is gram per cubic centimeter.

now from the given data volume can be calculated by the formula $volume = \frac{mass}{density}$ .

hence, the volume of aluminium will be = $\frac{4.60}{2.70} cm^{3}$ which comes out to be 1.703 $cm^{3}$ .

similarly, volume of zinc, chromium, and nickel will be 1.378 $cm^{3}$ , 0.869 $cm^{3}$ , and 0.356 $cm^{3}$ respectively.
