Detailed explanation-1: -An amino acid is an organic molecule that is made up of a basic amino group (−NH2), an acidic carboxyl group (−COOH), and an organic R group (or side chain) that is unique to each amino acid. The term amino acid is short for -amino [alpha-amino] carboxylic acid.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glycine is the simplest amino acid with an amino group and a carboxyl group.
Detailed explanation-3: -Amino acids have both an amino group and a carboxyl group in their structure.
Detailed explanation-4: -(d) Glycine is the simplest amino acid with an amino group adn a carboxyl group. Whereas formic acid the simplest carboxylic acid, glycerol is a fatty acid adn glycolic acid is carboxylic acid substitued with hydroxyl group.
Detailed explanation-5: -Answer and Explanation: The answer is d. An amino acid is a compound that contains both a basic amino group and an acidic carboxyl group. In general, all amino acids contain a basic amino group and an acidic carboxyl group.
