That depends on the pH. Most times, the amnio group will be NH3+ while the carbonyl group will be COO-.

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.
What functional groups are present in nicotine?
alkyl groups and amino group.
