Expert Solution

Step 1
The organic molecule is comprised of two functional groups that are an amino group and the carboxyl group is an amino acid. The amino group is basic in nature whereas the carboxyl group is acidic in nature. When series of amino acids are combined, they form proteins. Proteins are formed by L-amino acids.
