The correct Answer is:
To determine the nature of the aqueous solutions of the two amino acids X and Y, where X is acidic and Y is basic, we need to identify which amino acids fit these descriptions. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Amino Acids Classification**: - Amino acids can be classified as acidic, basic, or neutral based on their side chains (R groups). - Acidic amino acids have side chains that can donate protons (H⁺) in solution, making the solution acidic. - Basic amino acids have side chains that can accept protons, making the solution basic. 2. **Identify Acidic Amino Acids**: - The common acidic amino acids include: - Aspartic acid (Asp, D) - Glutamic acid (Glu, E) 3. **Identify Basic Amino Acids**: - The common basic amino acids include: - Lysine (Lys, K) - Arginine (Arg, R) - Histidine (His, H) 4. **Evaluate the Options**: - The question provides several pairs of amino acids: - **Option A**: Alanine and Valine (both neutral) - **Option B**: Aspartic acid and Asparagine (Asp is acidic, Asn is neutral) - **Option C**: Glutamine and Glutamic acid (Gln is neutral, Glu is acidic) - **Option D**: Aspartic acid and Lysine (Asp is acidic, Lys is basic) 5. **Select the Correct Pair**: - From the evaluation: - **Option D (Aspartic acid and Lysine)** is the correct answer as it contains one acidic amino acid (Aspartic acid) and one basic amino acid (Lysine). ### Conclusion: X is Aspartic acid (acidic) and Y is Lysine (basic). Therefore, the correct answer is Option D: Aspartic acid and Lysine.
