Carboxylic acids containing an amino group (-NH_(2)) as a substituent are called amino acids. When this amino group substitution is at alpha position with respect to carboxylic group, the aminoacid is called alpha -amino acid. The aminoacids with two carboxylic acids are called acidic amino acids whereas aminoacids with two amino group are called basic amino acids Amino acids show amphoteric character. Ali chiral natural amino acids exist in L-form. : What would be the net charge on the given amino acid at pH=14?

Assertion (A) All naturally occurring alpha -aminoacids except glycine are optically active. Reason (R) Most naturally occurring amino acids have L-configuration.

Science is based on the belief that all natural phenomena have antecedent factors which can be found this assumption about science is called as

Refer to the given graph showing state of ionisation of zwitterion. Select the correct statements regarding zwitterion. (i) Zwitterions can be formed from compunds that contain both acid groups and basic groups in their molecules. (ii) A zwitterion can act either as proton donor or proton acceptor. (iii) A monoamine monocarboxylic alpha -amino acid is a acid at high pH as both the groups (amino and carboxyl) lose a proton. (iv) Amino acids in solution at neutral pH exist predominantly as dipolar ions, the amino group is protonated (-NH_(3)^(+)) and the carboxyl group is deprotonated (-COO^(-)) .
