Most Important Selected Qs for JEE AdvancedChemistryBiomolecules
STATEMENT-1: The carboxylic and amino group in amino acid neutralize each other in aqueous solution. and STATEMENT-2: Amino acid forms Zwitterion by losing a proton from -COOH group and accepting a proton from H ₂ O molecule.
Options
- AStatement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is a correct explanation for Statement-1.
- BStatement-1 is True, Statement-2 is True; Statement-2 is NOT a correct explanation for Statement-1.
- CStatement-1 is True, Statement -2 is False.
- DStatement-1 is False, Statement-2 is True.
Correct answer
C. Statement-1 is True, Statement -2 is False.
Step-by-step solution
Within amino acid, proton is accepted from -COOH group by - NH ₂ group to from "- COO - R - + N H ₃ ^ .
