Question

Assertion (A): In the Solutions of different pH, structure of amino acids changes.

Reason (R): It is because of the ionisable nature of NH2 and COOH groups.​

Answer 1

Answer:

both statements are correct

Answer 2

Assertion is true and reason is the correct explaination of assertion.

1. Amino acids are organic compounds that contain two functional group namely amino group and carboxylic group. They also contain specific side chain, varying per amino acid.
2. The change in pH, to acidic or basic condition, causes ionisation of amino or carboxylic group, thus causing change in structure.
3. Amino acids can have primary, secondary, tertiary and quarternary structures.
