An amino acid structure contains a -COOH and -NH2 group in the same molecule. The -COOH group donates a proton to the -NH, group. Because of this, the amino acid structure contains a positive charge on one atom and a negative charge on the other. What is the term used to refer to this character of amino acids? O Amphiphatic O Isoelectric point O Zwitterions Amphoteric

which of the following statements is correct regarding the affect of pH on the ionization of R groups in amino acids. Put yes or no next to each number. 1) at an acidic pH, amino groups in an R group tend to lonize by accepting a proton and have a positive charge2) at an acidic pH, carboxyl groups in an R group are likely to be in an unionized state.3) at an alkaline pH, amino groups in an R group have a tendency to remain unionized (and uncharged).4) at an alkaline pH, carboxyl groups in an R group have a tendency to lonize by loosing a hydrogen ion (H+)5) R groups that do not have an amino or carboxyl group do not ionize at pH of the environment changes.
