    Glycine behaves as:

    A)  only as an acid

    B)  only as base

    C)  as both acid and base

    D)  neither as acid nor as base

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Glycine (a-amino acetic acid) behaves both as acid and as base because it has one \[-N{{H}_{2}}\] group (basic) and one \[-COOH\] group (acidic). \[{{H}_{2}}N--C{{H}_{2}}--COOH(glycine)\]
