Vedclass · Answer

(B) basic amino acid contains more amino groups than carboxyl groups in its structure. Option $A$ represents Glutamic acid,which has two carboxyl groups and one amino group,making it an acidic amino acid. Option $B$ represents Lysine,which has two amino groups and one carboxyl group,making it a basic amino acid. Option $C$ is not an amino acid as it lacks the characteristic carboxyl group. Option $D$ represents Serine,which is a neutral amino acid. Therefore,the correct structure for a basic amino acid is $B$.

Which of the following structures $(A-D)$ correctly represents a basic amino acid?
