Out here in the stroma, a bunch of different enzymes use the carbon dioxide molecules and hydrogen ions made during the light dependent phase to assemble sugar fragments which are half of a glucose molecule (just 3 carbon atoms, instead of the 6 required to make a complete glucose molecule).
An alkane, by definition, only has single bonds. Even if your second diagram made sense (it doesn't for the reason above) it would not be an alkane at all because there is a double bond. Alkanes are a functional group. It's called alkil. As a functional group they have the generic formula R(CH2)nH.
Amino acids carry two functional groups: an amine group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH). They are different because they have different side chains (R groups) attac â¦ hed to an alpha carbon that is specific to each amino acid.n amino acid is constituted by the amine group, the carboxylic acid group, and the side chain (AKA Remainder group). It's the chemistry of the â¦ side chain that makes an amino acid unique from the other amino acids. 4 people found this useful. Answered. In Elements and Compounds.
