@@Daytime_Scars it’s not a swear word, it was referring to something they can’t say on KZbin. Most likely something that would have gotten them canceled. They were also referring to not being open 24/7, charging interest on out molecules?? Maybe US Healthcare?? I may be very wrong but it’s just a thought.

[@scottseptember1992]

Good point. Nucleic acids (DNA or RNA) are actually amphoteric, meaning they can act as both an acid or base. The basic component is, as mentioned, the nitrogenous base (A/T, G/C) and the acid component is the Phophate group. In the case of DNA, the bases are in the interior while the acidic phosphate groups on the exterior thus the acidic component of DNA is more prominent than it's basic component.

[@alduinfirstbornofakatosh1936]

How are protons exchanged? I thought only electrons were transferred.... Aren't protons always "stuck" to the nucleus?

[@andychen7390]

+Alduin, Firstborn of Akatosh A hydrogen ion has no electrons and only 1 proton in the nucleus with no neutrons. Essentially, a hydrogen ion is just a proton. That's why we say acids donate protons (lose a hydrogen ion) and bases accept protons (take in a hydrogen ion).

Well done. The narrator does a good job of explaining. Still wish I had someone to help step me through this

[@scottseptember1992]

The strength an acid or base depends on what the solvent (or another reactant) is. For example, nitric acid/HNO3 is a strong acid when placed in water/H2O. However, if we switch the solvent to sulfuric acid/H2SO4 (which is a stronger acid than HNO3), sulfuric acid will "force" the nitric acid to act as a (weak) base. So the strength of an acid isn't affected by "how" diluted it is, but rather by "what" it's being diluted by.

[@scottseptember1992]

Depends on the physiological pH and thus what compartment of the body we're referring to. Amino acids do not always have both groups charged.

And the same thing applies with Amino acids, meaning they're amphoteric too. This is b/c they have both an acidic carboxyl group and a basic amino group.

It depends on what you mean by acid here. In coloquial use, acid usually refers to an acidic solution, in which case the more dilute it is, the weaker the acid is. However, when chemists talk about acids, they talk about pure substances rather than solutions, whose acidity is independent of their concentration.

[@wordsforwounds]

[@theunlawfullpenguin6855]

[@noobnaik]

they behave by the way we define it, Brønsted-Lowry acid/base are proton donor/receptor lewis acid/base don't necessarily need water, as their definition is based on electrons, not protons

I'm not getting your point here. I said that amino acids are amphoteric (more specifically amphiprotic), which is most assuredly true in their more common zwitterionic forms due to their protonated amine group able to act as a B-L acid and their unprotonated carboxyl group able to act as a B-L base.

[@OswaldGaming95]

umm ok.... thats not that special... thats normal don't be surprised lol

[@scottseptember1992]

It doesn't matter if the N terminus or C terminus ends are protonated or not. They're still called "amino" and "carboxyl" groups.

[@andreitanasa2068]

This is a very good explanation though he kind of combined the lewis and bronsted definitions, purposefully I assume, for simplicity.

[@chezsticks2096]

I love the voice actor. The sass

[@Quintinohthree]

I think my original point was that amino acids neither contain an amino group, nor a carboxyl group, unless included in the side chain, or at least not under the same conditions.

[@Nosirt]

goose121 they all are acids or bases WITHOUT needing water. The water is just most times used to show the reaction the acid and base because water if right at 7 pH, neutral. Basicly, think of acid and base like cars. There are some that go fast and slow but they all need fuel to actually show what they can do. And for acid and base, the fuel is anything. But water is just used mostly ba use its neutral
