Question

There are 20 different amino acids. What makes one amino acid different from another

Answer 1

Answer:

The side groups are what make each amino acid different from the others. Of the 20 side groups used to make proteins, there are two main groups: polar and non-polar. These names refer to the way the side groups, sometimes called "R" groups, interact with the environment.

Answer 2

The side chain makes one amino acid different from another.

• Amino acids are the structure blocks of protein, and each completes a specific capacity in the body.
• There are in excess of 20 amino acids utilized by the body, and they are essentially made of two groups.
• The side groups makes every amino acids different from the others.
• Of the 20 side groups used to make proteins, there are two principle groups: polar and non-polar.  
• There exist an important part of an amino acid atom that is known as the R group or side chain.  
• Hence the side chain is the thing that varies from one amino acid to the other amino acid.
