Answer:
Amphoteric nature of amino acids. Amino acids are amphoteric compounds, as they contain both acidic (COOH) and basic (NH2) groups. They can react with both alkalies and acids to form salts. ... This occurs as a result of dissociation of carboxyl group to release the H+ ion, which passes from the carboxyl to the amino group
