### Question 35
#### Which of the following is true?
A. All 20 common amino acids have an amino group and a carboxyl group bonded to the same carbon atom   
B. All 20 common amino acids exist in nature equally as both the D and L stereoisomers  
C. All amino acids have mirror-image pairs designated D and L  
D. Uncharged R group of amino acids are not polar  
E. More than one of the above are correct 

This multiple-choice question is designed to test the understanding of the properties and structures of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Each option addresses a different aspect of amino acid chemistry, including their structure, stereoisomerism, and the properties of their side chains (R groups).
