[AI-generated answer — Step-by-Step Bot]

Amino acids are unique from one another due to their R group, also known as the side chain. The R group is a variable part of the amino acid structure, and it plays a significant role in determining the unique properties and functions of each amino acid. The amino group (NH2) and the carboxyl group (COOH) are common functional groups found in all amino acids but they are not what make them different from each other. The long strands of glucose molecules are not related to the uniqueness of amino acids.
