Begin by understanding what amino acids are: they are organic compounds that serve as the building blocks of proteins.
Recognize that amino acids have two key functional groups: an amino group and a carboxyl group.
The amino group is typically represented as \(\), which is a basic group.
The carboxyl group is represented as \(\), which is an acidic group.
Conclude that the carboxyl group is present in all amino acids, distinguishing them from other organic compounds that may contain aldehyde, hydroxyl, or ketone groups.
