Match 8 amino acids with their properties/side chain types for Grade 12. Pairs: 1) Glycine (Gly) → 'Simplest amino acid, R = H, non-chiral'. 2) Alanine (Ala) → 'R = CH₃, nonpolar, hydrophobic'. 3) Serine (Ser) → 'R = CH₂OH, polar, can be phosphorylated'. 4) Cysteine (Cys) → 'R = CH₂SH, forms disulfi
