BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -A chemical molecule consisting of an isolated and equal number of positive and negative charged functional groups. The net charge of a zwitterion is zero.

Detailed explanation-2: -A zwitterion is an ion that contains two functional groups. In simple terms, it is an ion possessing both positive and negative electrical charges. Therefore, zwitterions are mostly electrically neutral (the net formal charge is usually zero).

Detailed explanation-3: -The most acidic carboxyl will be deprotonated and negatively charged, the less acidic carboxyl remains protonated and thus neutral. The pH is still too acidic for the amino group, which remains protonated and positive. This gives us a net charge of 0 and our zwitterion form.

Detailed explanation-4: -A zwitterion is a molecule that includes both positive and negative regions of charge. The existence of amino acids as dipolar ions in a solid-state is termed as zwitterions.
