general formula of amino acids is   H2N-CH-COOH ,
                                                          l
                                                          R
 
where Rcan be different functional group for different amino acids .
amino acids exists as neutral,they dont show properties of acids but ,they are known as acids because of the presence of COOH group.
They can be acidic depending on the R group attached.That you will learn in your higher classes.
