an amine group on the carbon atom next to the carbonyl carbon, an amine group on the carbon atom two carbon atoms away from the carbonyl carbon, an amine group on the cabron atom three carbon atoms away from the carbonyl carbon, an amine group on the carbon atom on the other end of the molecule. Or all of those.

an amino acid, NH2 and a hydroxide, COOH (C is bonded to two O's and the H comes off one O)

myyahoo gave the correct answer to the question. However, chris bla gave an especially insightful answer in considering the importance of *beta*-amino acids

It will depend on the type of amino acid.
An alpha-amino acid will be HO2C-CR2-NH2
A beta-amino will be H02C-CR2-CR2-NH2
and so on.
On consideration of what Steve_geo1 stated. I thought I add that normally, one thinks of alpha-amino acids when one thinks of the generic amino acid.
To go further in answering your question, all of those cases would be amino acids. Alpha-, beta-, gamma-, and so on.
