Answer 2

how can you tell if something is hydrophilic-like what factors have to be in place, and also, how can you tell if something is an amino acid-what has to be in place for that to be distinguished

Basically hydrophilic are water loving. That means those molecules which readily interact with water molecules.. But in case of amino acid there is a NH3 group and a COOH group. If these 2 groups are present then you can term d molecule as amino acid
