an amino and a carboxyl group
the amine and carboxyllic
Amino acids have 2 functional groups, an a-carboxyl group and an-amino group.
-NH2
Two functional groups are found in all amino acids. These functional groups are the amino group (-NH2) and the carboxyl group (-COOH). The hydrogen atom of the carboxyl group can be broken off quite easily; this gives amino acids their acidic properties.
Amino acids are acids because they always possess a carboxyl group.
Carboxyl group
For forming a peptide bond, it is essential. There are a number of amino acids that have an amino group as an R-group, as well.
carbonyl
Amino acids are of different types e.g. acidic,basic,neutral, imino ,and sulpher containing etc but all types of amino acids possess two functional groups. These functional groups are amino group and carboxylicgroup. An amino group is chemically NH2 , it is a basic group. Other functional group is carboxylic group which is chemically COOH , it is acidic in nature, Functional group is part of molecule that gives it ,its specific chemical characters.Presence of these groups makes amino acid amphoteric.
The functional groups of an amino acid are the amino group (-NH2) and the carboxyl group (-COOH).
