An amino acid is the structural and functional unit of protein and are made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sometimes sulphur. These are organic acids with a carboxyl group and one amino group. Amino acid acts as a buffer. 
Based on the groups that are present on the side chain of amino acid they are divided into various categories. 
Acidic amino acids are the ones that have a carboxyl group in their side chain for example aspartic acid and glutamic acid.
Basic amino acids are the ones that have a basic group and NH2 in their side chain; for example lysine and arginine.
Simple amino acids are the ones that do not have any functional group in their side chain; for example glycine, valine and alanine.
