The atoms in the amino group of all amino acids are nitrogen (N) and hydrogen (H), as the amino group is composed of an amino (-NH2) functional group.
The -NH2 group is called an amino group. All the amino acids found in proteins are alpha amino acids. Of the 20 amino acids that are coded for by DNA, 19 have an -NH2 group on the alpha carbon (the carbon adjacent to the carboxyl group). The other amino acid, proline, is similar but the N contributes to a ring formed with the side-chain, and is therefore -NH- .
Yes, amino acids will contain oxygen in their carboxyl group and might in its variable R group. The four types of amino acid side chains [R-groups] are i) non-polar (zero for 8) - no oxygen, ii) uncharged-polar - (5 out of 7 have oxygen), iii) charged-polar - both have oxygen, and iv) basic amino acids - zero for 3 have oxygen.

Yes Amino acids are made up of an amino group which has 2 hydrogen atoms and a carboxyl group which also has 2 hydrogen atoms. It then has other groups attached to it which could have many many more hydrogen atoms added to it
The various amino acids are distinguished by the substitution on the central carbon atom. All amino acids feature an amine group and a carboxylic acid.
In an amino acid, there are typically more hydrogen atoms than oxygen atoms. Amino acids contain one or more amine groups (-NH2) and carboxyl groups (-COOH), both of which contain hydrogen atoms. The number of hydrogen atoms is usually greater than the number of oxygen atoms present in the amino acid molecule.
The R group, or side chain, found in amino acids varies depending on the specific amino acid. It is what distinguishes each amino acid from one another and determines their unique properties. Examples of R groups include methyl, hydroxyl, and carboxyl groups.

carboxyl group, amino group, side chain
amino acids are made of acarboxylic group as the head which is hydrophilic.tail is made of hydrocarbon chain which is hydrophobic.in other words amino acids are made of carbon atoms,hydrogen atoms and oxygen
