Why are chemical groups significant?

Functional groups are important in chemistry because they are the portion of a molecule that is capable of characteristic reactions. They, therefore, determine the properties and chemistry of many organic compounds.

Which is a functional group that helps stabilize proteins?

Sulfhydryl Group: – SH. Helps stabilize the structure of some proteins.

What functional group is basic?

Common functional groups in biology.

Which chemical group is most likely to be responsible for an organic molecule behaving as a base?

The amino group accepts protons to form ammonium ions (NH3+), which means it removes protons from the solutions and acts as a base. Thus, an organic molecule containing an amino group would behave as a base as it accepts hydrogen ions.
