Question

Which of the following nutrients exhibit amphoteric nature?

A.

Carbohydrates

B.

Lipids

C.

Protein

D.

Vitamins

Correct option is C


• Proteins exhibit amphoteric behavior because they contain both acidic (carboxyl) and basic (amino) groups in their amino acid structure, allowing them to act as either acids or bases depending on pH.
• Carbohydrates and lipids do not exhibit amphoteric properties, and vitamins are organic micronutrients without this acid-base dual function.
