um..thx?

is that what you were looking for though?...

whooops sorrry. all three of those molecules give off H+ ions which  increases the H+ ion concentration   which  lowers the pH making it acidic okay i'll stop you probs don't need this kay byes

Yes, as someone has already explained, they are all acids, hence their name implies this: fatty $acid$, nucleic $acid$, and amino $acid$. And, by definition, acids donate protons, H$^+$

Hello again! @musicdramalife00 is correct. Acids are defined by their ability to give off H+ ions (According to the bronsted lowry theory).

bioepic · Answer

And the opposite, bases, absorb/take H+ ions.
