In amino Acid, there are two functional broup, which are given below amine (-NH2) ② Carboxyl (-200H) & with a side chain (R Groups) * Amino groups can act as a Base because they can pick up an Ht from a solution. an accept Hi for the option © can eastly because accept Ht from a solution coo converted into - Cook option A. ®. & form Zwitterion after pick up an ti from a solution on -NH2 hroup. - amine group convert into ants So, at forms Zwitterion R o (zwitterton R-CH- c 0 'which is highly , acidic în nature! option © HON I OH & I effect Ans 1. Hence the correct Scanned with CamScanner ( It is not a Zwitterion.so it is most Basic , option is @
