(B)
Interpretation:
The amino acid containing the acidic chain is to be identified and the classification of the other structures of amino acids as acidic, basic, polar or non-polar are to be done.
(C)
Interpretation:
The amino acid containing the acidic chain is to be identified and the classification of the other structures of amino acids as acidic, basic, polar or non-polar are to be done.
