Question

Identify the amino acid which has: 

• A. Alanine
• B. Arginine
• C. Asparagine
• D. Aspartic acid

Hint:

Asparagine is an amide-containing amino acid, which makes it different from Arginine, Alanine, and Aspartic acid.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Functional Groups in Amino Acids - The presence of \(-NH_2\) (amine), \(-CO_2H\) (carboxyl), and an amide group (\(\text{C}= \text{NH}_2\)) suggests that the amino acid is Asparagine. - Other options do not contain an amide group. 

Step 2: Conclusion Since Asparagine contains both an amine and an amide functional group along with a carboxyl group, it is the correct answer.
