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:

Quantrex Academy · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: A. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct

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.
