What is the structure of an amino acid?

Amino acids are the monomers that make up proteins. Each amino acid has the same fundamental structure , which consists of a central carbon atom, also known as the alpha (α) carbon, bonded to an amino group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), and to a hydrogen atom.

The universal structure of all amino acids is a central carbon atom that has a carboxyl group, an amino group, a hydrogen atom and an "R" side chain that varies from amino acid to amino acid bound to it. The carboxyl group consists of a carbon atom double-bonded to an oxygen atom and also bonded to a hydroxyl (-OH) group.

the cells uses some of the atoms of the glucose molecules to atp molecules. the atoms of the glucose molecules will then be converted into energy which will be eventually stored in atp. the energy produced which are stored in atp are coming from the glucose’s chemical bonds.
