Explanation:
Biomolecules are simply molecules made by organisms. Those biomolecules ions which equally have both the positive and the negative charged groups in their molecular structures are called a zwitterion.
Amino acids are small molecules that combine to make proteins in general. Amino acids are the most common zwitterions. For example, glutamine is in zwitterionic form at a pH of 7.

- A zwitterion is a substance with various positively and negatively charged portions that does not have a single electrical charge.
- If you raise the pH of an amino acid solution by adding hydroxide ions, the hydrogen ion is excluded from the -NH3 + group.
- A zwitterion is a functional group molecule that has at least one positive and one negative electrical charge.
- The net charge of the whole molecule is minuscule.
- Amino acids are probably the most well-known Zwitterions.
- They consist of a basic amine group and a carboxyl group (acidic).
