Answer 2

Glutamic acid and Aspartic acid are examples of acidic amino acids.

Explanation:

• Amino acids are the building blocks of protein.
• An amino acid is composed of a carboxyl group and an amino group. The amino acids are connected through the formation of peptide bonds.
• In acidic amino acids, at neutral pH the carboxyl groups have a tendency to lose protons and become negatively charged.
