Question

Given below are two statements: Statement I : Amino acids have a property of ionizable nature of $- NH_{2}$ and $- COOH$ groups, hence have different structures at different $pH$ . Statement II : Amino acids can exist as Zwitterionic form at acidic and basic $pH$ . In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:NEET 2022 (Phase 2)

Options:

Answer:

A

Solution:

Amino acids can exist in zwitterionic form which contains both positive and negative charges together, thus called Amphoteric molecule. These forms of amino acids, are having both moieties.
