Some amino acids are most important because they are the final product of hydrolysis of peptide and protein and they are:

Correct answer: A. α-amino acid

  • A. α-amino acid
  • B. β-amino acid
  • C. γ-amino acid
  • D. All of the above

Explanation

α-amino acids are indeed the final products of the hydrolysis of peptides and proteins. During hydrolysis, peptide bonds between amino acids are broken, resulting in the release of individual amino acids, which are α-amino acids.

About Carboxylic Acids

Carboxylic acids are named and studied through the combined effects of the carbonyl and hydroxyl groups, their preparation, acidity and hydrogen bonding. Reactions include neutralisation, esterification, reduction and conversion into acid chlorides, anhydrides, esters and amides, with emphasis on how these derivatives interconvert.
