A carboxyl group is a set of four atoms bonded together and present in carboxylic acids, including amino acids. Usually abbreviated as either CO2H or COOH, this set of atoms constitutes a functional group. In every carboxyl group the carbon atom is attached to an oxygen atom by a double bond and to a hydroxyl group (OH) by a single bond. In this way a carboxyl group is equivalent to a carbonyl group bonded to a hydroxyl group.

What type of organic compound always includes a carboxyl group and an amino group?
An amino acid always has an amino group and a carboxyl group. The amine group of one amino acid is capable of forming a peptide bond with the carboxyl group of another amino acid.
When 2 amino acids link together what bond is formed?
carboxyl group of one molecule of amino acid and amino group of the other molecule of amino acid by releasing a molecule of water.
Do all amino acid molcules contain a carboxyl group and a amino group?
Yes.
How does a hydroxyl group differ from a carboxyl group?
The hydroxyl group is an amino group and the carboxyl group is an amino acid that was one of my science questions and thats the best answer i could find. hope this helps
What are two function groups of amino acids?
The functional groups of an amino acid are the amino group (-NH2) and the carboxyl group (-COOH).

What is the functional group of Glutamic acid?
Carboxyl and amino group
Do all amino acid molcules contain a carboxyl group and a amino group?
Yes.
What contains amino and carboxyl groups?
protein structures Any molecule containing a carboxyl and an amino group is called an amino acid.
What happens when you change the R group of an amino acid?
It will become a different amino acid. For example, the r group for the amino acid leucine is greatly different than that of glycine. The r group is the identifying portion of an amino acid, otherwise only the amine group and the carboxyl groups exist. At the link is a picture of the various amino acids. You can see the carboxyl groups [COOH] and the amine groups [NH3] are always there, but the rest of the molecule changes.
What is a compound with the amino group on one end and a carboxyl group on the other end?
amino acid
What contains both a carboxyl group and an amino group?
An amino group and an R group
What is the chemical bond that forms between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid?
Peptide bond.
Part of amino acid is acidic?
the carboxyl functional group
