Vedclass · Answer

(A) An amino acid is optically active if it contains at least one chiral (asymmetrical) carbon atom.Glycine has the structure $H_2N-CH_2-COOH$.In glycine,the central carbon atom is bonded to two identical hydrogen atoms,meaning it does not have a chiral center.Therefore,glycine is the only naturally occurring amino acid that is optically inactive.
