Detailed explanation-1: -Amino acids have amino (−NH2) group, basic in nature and accepts a proton and COOH group loses a proton forming a dipolar ion, called the Zwitter ion . In this form, amino acids behave both as acids and bases so they are amphoteric in nature.

Detailed explanation-2: -A zwitterion is a functional group molecule in which at least one has a positive electrical charge and one a negative electrical charge. The whole molecule’s net charge is negative. The best-known examples of Zwitterions are amino acids. They have a group of amines (basic) and a group of carboxyls (acidic).

Detailed explanation-3: -The property of a compound to behave both as an acid, as well as a base, is known as amphoteric nature.
