Vedclass · Answer

(C) Amino acids are classified as acidic,basic,or neutral based on the number of amino $(-NH_2)$ and carboxyl $(-COOH)$ groups present in their structure.$1$. $Arg$ $(Arginine)$ is a basic amino acid due to the presence of an extra amino group in its side chain.$2$. $Asp$ $(Aspartic \ acid)$ is an acidic amino acid due to the presence of an extra carboxyl group in its side chain.$3$. $Leu$ $(Leucine)$ is a neutral amino acid because it contains one amino group and one carboxyl group,and its side chain is non-polar and non-ionizable.$4$. $His$ $(Histidine)$ is a basic amino acid.Therefore,$Leu$ is the correct neutral amino acid.

List-$I$ (Amino acid)	List-$II$ (Positive reaction/Test for functional group present in side chain of amino acid)
$A$. Glutamine	$I$. Hinsberg's test
$B$. Lysine	$II$. Neutral $FeCl_3$ test
$C$. Tyrosine	$III$. Ceric ammonium nitrate test
$D$. Serine	$IV$. Hoffman bromamide degradation
