(a)
Amino acids have a central four valence carbon atom, called the alpha carbon to which are attached (i) an amino group on one side, (ii) a carboxyl groups on the other side, (iii) a hydrogen atom (H) on the third side and (iv) a variable group symbolised by on the fourth side. Out of them, and COOH are involved in peptide bond formation
