Q. Statement 1 : The amino acid glycine predominantly exists in the form of ${ }^{\oplus} NH _3 CH _2 COOH ^{\ominus}$
Statement 2 : The conjugate acid of glycine is $NH _2 CH _2 COO ^{\ominus}$

Equilibrium

Solution:

(A) is correct. It exists as Zwitter ion
(R) is wrong. The conjugate acid is
$\overset{\oplus}{ N}H _2 CH _2 COOH $
