By their side chains. All amino acids have this structure:
HOOC- C - NH2
Attached to that middle C is the side chain. They can have many different properties-
They can be aromatic, polar, lipophilic, basic, acidic, Sulfur containing, among others
There are 20 amino acids inside the human body, each has a different structure and function, due to its properties.

How do amino acids distinguish from each other?
They differ from each other by the cognent that it is connected to.
Instructions for assembling amino acids into proteins?
Proteins are made from amino acids, there are different types of proteins in our body ane the order of the amino acids determines the type of amino acid cus it sure helped me :)
Although there are a limited number of amino acids many different types of proteins exist because the?
sequence and number of amino acids is different
Different are made when different sequences of amino acids are linked into long chains?
Different polypeptides or proteins are made when different sequences of amino acids are linked into long chains.
There are twenty different types of?
Amino Acids!
Amino acids can be distinguished from one another by?
Amino acids all have an amino group attached to them. There are 20 different amino groups, and therefore 20 different types of amino acids.
How many different types of amino acids exist?
There are 22 amino acids that humans require for life. however, there are hundreds of different kinds of amino acids.
How many different kinds of amino acids are essential amino acids?

How do amino acids distinguish from each other?
They differ from each other by the cognent that it is connected to.
What part of the amino acids varies from one amino acids to another?
The "R" group is different in different kinds of amino acids. The "R" group can be a number of different molecules that are attached to the alpha carbon.
How many amino acids are used in the synthesis of body protein?
They have varying numbers, as different amino acids form different polypetide chains, which form different amino acids in the way they become folded to suit their function
Do amino acids differ from fatty acids?
There are 20 different amino acids. They differ from one another because they all have different side chains.
Is protein and amino acids?
proteins are made up of different amino acids linked together
What is the minimum number of amino acids in protein?
there is only 20 amin acid in our bodies but we only use 11 of them
Total number of amino acids for the DNA sequence is?
There are 20 different amino acids in the DNA sequence
How many different amino acids are in glucose?
There are not any amino acids in glucoe because glucose is not a protein.
What is the theoretical number of chemically different dipeptides that may be assembled from 12 different types of amino acids?
the answer is C (144). The working is: 12^2 = 144. Here 12 is the no. of different amino acids and 2 is the no. of amino acids in the chain (its a dipeptide so, 2 amino acids).
