Detailed explanation-1: -An amino acid is an organic chemical. Organic chemicals contain carbon-hydrogen bonds. All amino acids have the same basic structure. Each molecule has a central carbon atom linked together with a basic amino group, a carboxylic acid group, a hydrogen atom and an R-group, or side-chain group.
Detailed explanation-2: -An amino acid is an organic molecule that is made up of a basic amino group (−NH2), an acidic carboxyl group (−COOH), and an organic R group (or side chain) that is unique to each amino acid.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are about 20 amino acids, and the atoms most prevalent in these are carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. Each amino acid contains a carboxylic acid end and an amino end.
