Suppose you discovered a new amino acid. Its R-group contains only hydrogen and carbon atoms. Predict the behavior of this amino acid. A)It is hydrophobic. B)It is hydrophilic. C)Relative to the amino acids found in organisms, its interactions with water will be intermediate. D)Relative to the amino acids found in organisms, its interactions with water will be very high.

Respuesta :

Answer:

A. it is hydrophobic

Explanation:

you know the R-group of the new amino acid contains only hydrogen and carbon atoms. this tells us that the R-group is non polar, as both hydrogen and carbon are non polar atoms.

we can predict that the amino acid is hydrophobic. meaning it does not interact well with water.

making A the correct answer.
