    Answer

    The components of the r group of amino acid structure varies among different amino acids

    Explanation

    As the functional group for amino acids is as:

    R-CH-COOH

    I

    NH2

    only R differs so amino acids also differs. If R is "H" then amino acid is glycine and if R is "CH3" then amino acid is alanine. Hence, R is different for different amino acids. Other components as alpha carbon (C), carboxyl group (COOH) and amino group (NH2) is fixed for every amino acid.
