(a)

Summary Introduction

To draw: The chemical structures of the two forms of alanine that predominant in aqueous solution.

Introduction: Alanine is an aliphatic amino acid used in the biosynthesis of polypeptides or proteins. Alanine consists of α-amino group and α -carboxyl group. Alanine is a non-polar amino acid due to presence of methyl group in its side chain.

(b)

Summary Introduction

To determine: The form of alanine that is present at the higher concentration level in the solutions of 1.0 pH.

Introduction: Alanine is an aliphatic amino acid used in the biosynthesis of polypeptides or proteins. Alanine consists of α-amino group and α -carboxyl group. Alanine is a non-polar amino acid due to presence of methyl group in its side chain.

(c)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The form of alanine that is present at the higher concentration level in the solutions of 6.2 pH.

Introduction: Alanine is an aliphatic amino acid used in the biosynthesis of polypeptides or proteins. Alanine consists of α-amino group and α -carboxyl group. Alanine is a non-polar amino acid due to presence of methyl group in its side chain.

(d)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The form of alanine that is present at the higher concentration level in the solutions of 8.02 pH.

Introduction: Alanine is an aliphatic amino acid used in the biosynthesis of polypeptides or proteins. Alanine consists of α-amino group and α -carboxyl group. Alanine is a non-polar amino acid due to presence of methyl group in its side chain.

(e)

Summary Introduction

To explain: The form of alanine that is present at the higher concentration level in the solutions of 11.9 pH.

Introduction: Alanine is an aliphatic amino acid used in the biosynthesis of polypeptides or proteins. Alanine consists of α-amino group and α -carboxyl group. Alanine is a non-polar amino acid due to presence of methyl group in its side chain.
