The R groups of amino acids cause the difference in amino acid. The R group is joined at the alpha carbon of amino acid. There are four group joined at one carbon, viz. an acid group --COOH, and an amino group --NH3, one hydrogen and a functional group (R group).
Except R group all the groups are same in every amino acid.
So on the basis of R group i.e., functional group, there occur differences EITHER it is polar or non-polar nature OR acidity or basicty.

Proteins are made up of monomers called?
The monomers of proteins are amino acids.
Is A polypeptide is a sequence of proteins or amino acids?
Yes, a polypeptide is a sequence of amino acids.
What monomer makes up enzyme?
amino acids make proteins and an enzyme is a protein so......
Is nucleic acids the same as amino acids?
No. Amino acids are monomers of proteins and nucleic acids is a macromolecule.
What is the role of tRNA during the translation?
It links the correct amino acids together
The main difference between amino acids is there?
What? Speak proper english, please. The main difference between amino acids and what?
What is the difference between amino acids and peptides?
amino acids contain an amine and a carboxylic acid
What is the difference between an amino acid and RNA?
RNA is a polymer of ribonucleic acids. Amino acids are the monomers of proteins.
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.
What is the difference between amino acids and other acids?
Amino acids are molecules containing both amine and carboxyl functional groups. Amino acids are critical to life, and have a variety of roles in metabolism. One particularly important function is as the building blocks of proteins, which are linear chains of amino acids.
What is the difference between codon and amino acids?
a hairy vjj
Proteins are made up of monomers called?
The monomers of proteins are amino acids.
How do essential amino acids differ from non-essential amino acids?
"Essential" amino acids are those that are essential in the diet. The body can make the others from simpler compounds. Which amino acids are "essential" depends on the species; they're not the same for humans that they are for, say, cats. Other than that, there's no difference.
What is the difference between peptide and peptide bond?
a protein is many amino acids bonded together, amino acids are the basic building blocks of proteins, and a peptide bond is the bond that connects amino acids together
What repeating units make up a protein fatty acids peptide acids amino acids carboxylic acids?
They are the amino acids. They are the monomers
Proteins are formed of building blocks called?
Amino acids held together by peptide bonds.
Difference between aromatic and aliphatic amino acids?
Aromatic amino acid has rings in their structures wile the aliphatic amino acids has carbon atoms joined in a branched or straight open chains.
