The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason about glutamine, we can break down the information step by step. ### Step 1: Analyze the Assertion **Assertion:** Glutamine contains an amide group. - Glutamine is classified as an alpha-amino acid. It has a side chain that includes an amide functional group (-CONH2). - Therefore, the assertion is **true**. ### Step 2: Analyze the Reason **Reason:** The isoelectric point of glutamine is 7. - The isoelectric point (pI) of an amino acid is the pH at which the amino acid exists in a neutral form, meaning it has no net charge. - For glutamine, the isoelectric point is approximately 5.65, not 7. - Therefore, the reason is **false**. ### Step 3: Conclusion - Since the assertion is true and the reason is false, the correct option is that the assertion is true, but the reason is wrong. ### Final Answer The correct option is: **Assertion is true, but reason is wrong.** ---
