Glycine is usually classified as non-polar amino acid because it has just one hydrogen in the side chain. Since there is no significant difference in electronegativity between carbon and hydrogen- there is no polarity in the side chain.
Yes, glycine is considered a type of polar molecule, even though it is ionic. It can have dipole moments due to its electronegativity.
No. Glycine has only a hydrogen as a side chain, so it is not hydrophobic.
Yes, glycine is polar, both NH2-group and HOOC-group are polar.
A "hydrophobic" amino acid is an acid that "fears" water. When in contact with water, the hydrophobic amino acid will cause that section of protein to stay away from water.
Hydrophilic ("water loving") amino acid side chains are either charged or polar. Both are attracted by water molecules. Histidine, Lysine, Glutamate, Aspartate, Arginine Hydrophobic: Alanine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Phenylalanine, Valine, Proline, Glycine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Tryptophane, Cysteine. Less Hydrophobic: Tyrosine, Histidine, Serine, Threonine, Proline, Glycine, Alanine, Glutamine
Valine (Val)
It is nothing (you've got one too many hydrogens on that first carbon) but NH2CH2COOH is glycine, the simplest amino acid.
achiral
Glycine is a non-essential amino acid

Glycine is an amino acid, so it contains nitrogen.
Glycine because it is not chiral :)

No, glycine is the simplest amino acid and does not have any peptide bond.
