JEE Main Chemistry Question (2026) — Solution
Question
Identify the correct statements. A. Arginine and Tryptophan are essential amino acids. B. Histidine does not contain heterocyclic ring in its structure. C. Proline is a six membered cyclic ring amino acid. D. Glycine does not have chiral centre. E. Cysteine has characteristic feature of side chain as MeS - CH _ 2 - CH _ 2 -. Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Options
- A. A and D Only
- B. B and E Only
- C. C and E Only
- D. C and D Only
Step-by-step solution
A. Arginine and Tryptophan are essential amino acids - True B. Histidine contains imidazole ring (heterocyclic ring with N) - Statement is False C. Proline has a 5-membered pyrrolidine ring, not 6-membered - False D. Glycine (NH_2-CH_2-COOH) has no chiral center (α-carbon has two H atoms) - True E. Cysteine side chain is -CH_2-SH (thiol). MeS-CH_2-CH_2- is the side chain of Methionine, not Cysteine - False Correct statements: A and D only
