Question

explain the zwitter ionic form of amino acids

Answer 1

chemistry,a zwitterion from German zwitter meaning "hermaphrodite"), formerly called a dipolar ion, is a molecule with two or more functional groups, of which at least one has a positive and one has a negative electrical charge and the net charge of the entire molecule is zero. Because they contain at least one positive and one negative charge, zwitterions are also sometimes called inner salts. The charges on the different functional groups balance each other out, and the molecule as a whole is electrically neutral. The pH where this happens is known as the isoelectric point.

Unlike simple amphoteric compounds that may only form either a cationic or anionic species, a zwitterion simultaneously has both ionic states.

Hey brainly user

Here is your answer

The particular property of the amino acids of ionizable NH2 and COOH groups. In solution of different Ph 's the structure of amino acids changes. In aqueous solutions carboxyl groups transfers a proton to NH2 group to + and - charges within the molecule. This type of series is called zwitter ionic form
