Given below are two statements:
Statement I: Amino acids have a property of ionizable nature of –NH2 and –COOH groups, hence have different structures at different pH.
Statement II: Amino acids can exist as Zwitterionic form at acidic and basic pH.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
1. Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
2. Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect.
3. Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect.
4. Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
