Explanation of Solution

Glycine can act as both acids as well bases. In strongly alkaline conditions, glycine can act as a base. About all amino acids exist in zwitter ions.

The reaction of glycine with a base leads to the formation of a negative ion when an ammonium ion loses a proton.

The chemical equation can be depicted as follows:
