The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the correct amino acids based on different functional (R) groups, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the General Structure of Amino Acids Amino acids have a general structure that includes: - An amino group (-NH2) - A carboxyl group (-COOH) - A hydrogen atom - An R group (side chain) that varies among different amino acids. ### Step 2: Identify the Amino Acids Based on the R Groups We will analyze the given R groups and identify the corresponding amino acids: 1. **R = H (Hydrogen)**: - When the R group is simply hydrogen, the amino acid formed is **Glycine**. - Glycine is the simplest amino acid. 2. **R = CH3 (Methyl Group)**: - When the R group is a methyl group (CH3), the amino acid formed is **Alanine**. - Alanine has a side chain that is a methyl group. 3. **R = CH2OH (Hydroxymethyl Group)**: - When the R group is CH2OH, the amino acid formed is **Serine**. - Serine contains a hydroxymethyl side chain. ### Step 3: Conclusion Based on the analysis of the R groups: - R = H corresponds to Glycine. - R = CH3 corresponds to Alanine. - R = CH2OH corresponds to Serine. Since all the options provided are correct, the answer is **"All of the above."** ### Final Answer: **All of the above.** ---
