Question

Amino acids have ________.A)  high melting points and low solubility in waterB)  large dipole moments and are more acidic than most carboxylic acidsC)  high melting points and large dipole momentsD)  low solubility in water and small dipole momentsE)  small dipole moments and are hydrophobic

Berto Castellanos · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Amino acids have high melting points and large dipole moments due to their amphoteric nature (containing both a basic amine group and an acidic carboxyl group) and their ability to form zwitterions, which are internal salts. This structure contributes to their significant dipole moments and high melting points.

Amino acids have ________.

A) high melting points and low solubility in water
B) large dipole moments and are more acidic than most carboxylic acids
C) high melting points and large dipole moments
D) low solubility in water and small dipole moments
