<span>R group (or side chain) is an organic component of amino acids that is unique to each amino acid. </span> <span>Three of the amino acids have basic side chains at neutral pH: arginine (Arg), lysine (Lys), and histidine (His). Their side chains contain nitrogen and resemble ammonia, which is a base and their pKa's are high enough that they tend to bind protons, (positive charge). Aspartic acid or aspartate (Asp) and glutamic acid or glutamate (Glu) are acidic amino acids because their side chains have carboxylic acid groups whose pKa's are low enough to lose protons, (negatively charged). The non-polar amino acids contain uncharged functional groups<span> at physiological pH and are incapable of participating in hydrogen bonding. </span></span>
The answer is; A
This is a symbiotic relationship. The mycorrhiza is harbored I the roots of the orchids. The fungi nitrify the soil around the plant. Therefore, the fungi make nitrates (which are critical for the growth of the plant) available to the plant. The fungi, on the other hand, are assisted in breaking down of large carbon polymers by the orchids because the plant’s enzyme is more powerful than those of the fungi.
