Which of the following are amides formed from amino acids?

Options

  1. AGlutamic acid and Aspartic acid.
  2. BGlutamine and Aspartic acid.
  3. CAsparagine and Glutamine.
  4. DAsparagine and Glutamic acid.

Correct answer

C. Asparagine and Glutamine.

Step-by-step solution

Aspartic acid and glutamic acid are acidic amino acids containing an extra carboxyl group in their side chains. When the hydroxyl part of this extra carboxyl group is replaced by an amino group ( -NH₂ ), amides are formed. The amide formed from aspartic acid is asparagine. The amide formed from glutamic acid is glutamine. Thus, asparagine and glutamine are the amides formed from amino acids. Answer: Asparagine and Glutamine.
