Answer:

Amine and Carboxylic acid functional groups

Step-by-step explanation:

Amino acids are all comprised of a basic functional group; Amine (NH2) and Carboxyl group (-COOH) forming their structure. The only differentiation in amino acids are the R-groups which vary in charge, structure, polarity, and interactions.
