NEET Chemistry Proteins Assertion Reason Question
Assertion (A): The primary structure of proteins is determined by the sequence of amino acids.
Reason (R): Amino acids are zwitter ions in aqueous solutions, contributing to protein solubility.
Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.

A is false.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The primary structure of proteins is indeed determined by the sequence of amino acids, but the zwitterionic nature of amino acids relates to their amphoteric behavior, not directly to explaining the primary structure.
