Practice question
Question
Which of the following amino acids has a buffering effect in both acidic and basic pH ranges?
Explanation
Histidine correctly describes the effect or change asked about in this question. In Titration of Amino Acids, understanding cause-and-effect relationships is essential for predicting biological outcomes. Histidine occurs because of specific molecular interactions, thermodynamic principles, or regulatory mechanisms that govern this biological process. The other options (Aspartic acid, Lysine, and Arginine) describe either opposite effects, effects that occur under different conditions, or changes associated with unrelated processes.
