The two functional groups that the name is derived from is an amine and a carboxylic acid.
All alpha-amino acids have the same 'backbone' structure (amine, carbon, carboxylic acid). The difference in their functionality is derived from the "side chain", which can be any of a number of groups.

What cell is made of amino acids and work to keep cells functioning properly?
Proteins are made of amino acids, and work to keep cells functioning.
What groups are identical in amino acids?
amino and carboxyl groups
Do amino acids have amino groups?
yes yes they do
When amino acids are broken down they lose their amine groups?
Yes amino acids lose their amine groups when broken down. Amino acids are used as precursors to nucleic acids when broken down.
Do amino acids have protein?
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Proteins are simply chains of amino acids. I think you meant to ask do proteins have amino acids. Amino acids as the name indicates (Amino) have amine groups, carboxylic acid groups and a side chain that varies depending on the amino acid (20 differnet types).
What groups make up amino acids?
The amino acids are distinguished by the R groups which determines what amino acid it is.:) im doing this homework right now .
Do all amino acids have R groups that are polar?
Yes, all amino acids have the same basic composition, though the r-groups causes the variation. There are 20 different 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.
What is a nutrient made up of amino acids?
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins; hence the intake of amino acids will act nutritionally as protein.
Amino acids always have two groups attached what are they?
A carboxyl and an amino
Are Amino acids are the same except for their R group?
Yes. All amino acids are distinguished by their R groups.
