What do the 20 amino acids vary in?
The amino acids vary in the side groups, usually designated by "R" on the chemical structures for amino acids. The invariant parts are the amino group (NH2-), central (-CH-) group, and the carboxyl (-COOH) group. Connected to the central carbon on the (-CH-) group is a side group which is part that varies.
Describe a generalised structure of amino acids?
Amino acids have a generalised structure consisting of an amino group (-NH2), a carboxyl group (-COOH), and a side chain represented by the letter "R". The side chain can vary among different amino acids, giving them distinct chemical properties. The central carbon atom (alpha carbon) connects the amino group, carboxyl group, and the side chain, forming the backbone of the amino acid.
What are made up of amino acids?
Amino acid structure is a central carbon bonded to a hydrogen, a carboxyl group, an amino group and a side chain (this side chain determines the actual amino acid). It is not made of protein, proteins are made of amino acids.
All amino acids have an amino group and a carboxylic acid but each one has a unique?
R- group - or Side Chain.
Why do amino acids have peculiar structures?
I'm not sure what you mean by "peculiar". Amino acids are formed by an amino group, a carboxyl group, a central (linking) carbon, and a variable side group. The side group determines the distinctive amino acid.
What consists of an amino group a carboxyl group and a side chain?
Amino Acids

What contains both a carboxyl group and an amino group?
An amino group and an R group
How are amino acids grouped according to physical and chemical properties of the side chain?
basing on the polarity its divided into 3types 1, amino acids with uncharged polar side chain 2, amino acids with polar side chain 3, amino acids with charged nonpolar side chain
All amino acids have an amino group and a carboxylic acid but each one has a unique?
R- group - or Side Chain.
What are three groups of atom that make up amino acids called?
carboxyl group, amino group, side chain

Do amino acids have a central atom?
Yes. The alpha carbon, from where the amino group, the carboxylic group and the side chain (or R group) are attached.
What group is different between types of amino acids?
The side chain. Each proteinogenic amino acid has a hydrogen, a carboxylic acid, and an amine group on a central carbon, with a side chain that varies between the acids.
What are characteristics of proteins?
Proteins are made up of amino acids, which always contain an amine group (NH2), a carboxyl group as well (COOH), and a side group that varys from different amino acids.
