Question

Amino acids generally exist in the form of Zwitter ions. This means they contain (A) basic —NH2 group and acidic —COOH group (B) the basic — overset+NH3 group and acidic —COO- group (C) basic —NH2 and acidic —H+ group (D) basic —COO- group and acidic — overset+NH3 group.

Zwitter ion contains both +ve and -ve charge. Proton of —COOH group is transferred to the — NH2 group. —NH+3 group is acidic since it can donate a proton and —COO- group is basic since it can accept a proton.

Q. Amino acids generally exist in the form of Zwitter ions. This means they contain

basic $— N H_{2}$ group and acidic $— COO H$ group

the basic $— N + H_{3}$ group and acidic $— CO O^{-}$ group

basic $— N H_{2}$ and acidic $— H^{+}$ group

basic $— CO O^{-}$ group and acidic $— N + H_{3}$ group.

Zwitter ion contains both $+ v e$ and $- v e$ charge. Proton of $— COO H$ group is transferred to the $— N H_{2}$ group. $— N H_{3}^{+}$ group is acidic since it can donate a proton and $— CO O^{-}$ group is basic since it can accept a proton.

Q. Amino acids generally exist in the form of Zwitter ions. This means they contain

basic —NH2​ group and acidic —COOH group

the basic —N+H3​ group and acidic —COO− group

basic —NH2​ and acidic —H+ group

basic —COO− group and acidic —N+H3​ group.

Zwitter ion contains both +ve and −ve charge. Proton of —COOH group is transferred to the —NH2​ group. —NH3+​ group is acidic since it can donate a proton and —COO− group is basic since it can accept a proton.

basic $— N H_{2}$ group and acidic $— COO H$ group

the basic $— N + H_{3}$ group and acidic $— CO O^{-}$ group

basic $— N H_{2}$ and acidic $— H^{+}$ group

basic $— CO O^{-}$ group and acidic $— N + H_{3}$ group.

Zwitter ion contains both $+ v e$ and $- v e$ charge. Proton of $— COO H$ group is transferred to the $— N H_{2}$ group. $— N H_{3}^{+}$ group is acidic since it can donate a proton and $— CO O^{-}$ group is basic since it can accept a proton.
