Question
Which of these groups vary from amino acid to another?
Options:
A .  Amino group 
B .  Carboxylic group 
C .  R group
D .  Alpha carbon
Answer: Option C
:
C
Amino acids are the basic constituents of proteins and the molecule is made up of an amino group and a carboxyl group attached to a central carbon atom called the alpha carbon. The alpha carbon also binds to an R-group, which differs from one amino acid to another and confers the amino acid with its acidic, basic or neutral properties.
