no there r 20 different kinds of amino acids which differ from each other in chemical formula. all 20 amino acids have same NH2,H and COOH group, attached with C but they have different side chains due to which they are different in molecular formula.....

No, the molecular formulas for all amino acids are not the same. The unique molecular formula for each amino acid is referred to as its chemical structure.
No, in fact people used to think that structural homology was proof for evolution but if you look at the chemistry of two animals with the same structural homology they will be way different

Different proteins can have the same relative molecular mass because molecular weight alone does not determine a protein's structure or function. Proteins can vary in amino acid sequence, post-translational modifications, and three-dimensional structure while still having the same molecular mass. Thus, proteins with different compositions and functions can have similar molecular masses.
To determine if two amino acid chains contain the same amino acids, one must compare the sequences of the chains. If both chains include identical amino acids in the same quantities and types, they can be considered to contain the same amino acids. However, even if they contain the same amino acids, differences in sequence or arrangement can lead to different properties and functions. Thus, the presence of the same amino acids does not guarantee similarity in function or structure.
No, amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are made up of long chains of amino acids.
BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids) are a type of amino acid. While all BCAAs are amino acids, not all amino acids are BCAAs. BCAAs specifically refer to three essential amino acids: leucine, isoleucine, and valine.
Amino acids are chemicals, it doesnt matter from which organism it is, they are chemically the same (for example Glycine is an amino acid, it is the same in any species).What will iffer is, the sequence of amino acids that make proteins (such as Glycine alanine valine tyrosine is a sequence may not be same like phenylalanine serine glutamine aspartate)
No, nucleic acids are molecules that store and transmit genetic information, such as DNA and RNA, while amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are made up of chains of amino acids, not nucleic acids.
Yes, secondary amino acids can exhibit metamerism. Metamerism occurs when compounds have the same molecular formula but differ in the arrangement of their atoms, typically in relation to the functional groups. In secondary amino acids, the presence of different substituents on the nitrogen atom can lead to variations in structure while maintaining the same overall molecular formula, thus resulting in metameric forms.
D & L amino acids are both optical isomers of each other; i.e. they're compounds with the same molecular formula but different spatial arrangements. Every optically active compound has a D- and an L- isomer. They ONLY differ in their ability to rotate plane polarized light in opposite directions.
Yes, all amino acids have the same basic composition, though the r-groups causes the variation. There are 20 different amino acids.
