Step-by-step solution
According to NCERT, amino acids are classified as acidic, basic or neutral depending upon the relative number of amino and carboxyl groups in their molecule. Arginine contains more amino groups than carboxyl groups, so it is a basic amino acid. Glutamic acid contains more carboxyl groups than amino groups, so it is an acidic amino acid. Valine contains an equal number of amino and carboxyl groups, so it is a neutral amino acid. Tyrosine contains a phenol group in its side chain and is classified as an aromatic amin
