The amine (amino) part of an amino acid is the H2N- at the end of the molecule. Amino acids have an acidic part with is -COOH. These parts are the same for all amino acids. They also have a variable group which has 20 different combinations available, this is called the residue (or R group) and are different for different types of amino acid eg. Lysine or serine.

The amino group is the NH2 shown in the image above, the opposite end is the triple bonded nitrogen, and the "R" is the sidegroup that determines which amino acid this is (there are 20 natural amino acids used by living things).

What part of an amino acid that makes it different from other amino acids?

The remainder group or R Group. An amino acid is constituted by the amine group, the carboxylic acid group, and the side chain (AKA Remainder group). It's the chemistry of the side chain that makes an amino acid unique from the other amino acids.

What are the two functional groups of amino acid?

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.
