Question

2) In an aqueous solution of alanine, which group
acts as the acidic group and which group acts as
the basic group.​

Answer 1

Answer:

An amino acid is the structural and functional unit of protein and are made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sometimes sulphur. These are organic acids with a carboxyl group and one amino group. Amino acid acts as a buffer.

Based on the groups that are present on the side chain of amino acid they are divided into various categories.

Acidic amino acids are the ones that have a carboxyl group in their side chain for example aspartic acid and glutamic acid.

Basic amino acids are the ones that have a basic group and NH2 in their side chain; for example lysine and arginine.

Simple amino acids are the ones that do not have any functional group in their side chain; for example glycine, valine and alanine.

So, the correct option is 'Aspartic acid, glutamic acid'
