Identify the correct statement related to amino acids
Nonessential amino acids cannot be synthesized in the body
These are soluble in ether
These are low melting solid substances
In aqueous solution they exist as zwitter ion
Solution
Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized in our body so we need to take them in our diet.
Amino acids are soluble in water but generally insoluble in organic solvents.
Due to crystalline nature, they are high melting solids because of dipole-dipole interactions.
They exist as dipolar zwitter ions in aqueous solutions.
