Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Zwitter ion may be defined as the molecule that contains the net neutral charge. The change in pH can change the charge on the zwitter ions. Amino acids can exist in the form of zwitter ions.

The basic environment, causes the deprotonation of the ammonia group. The carboxyl end of a protein release the hydrogen ions in the acidic environment , not in the basic environment.

Thus, the answer is false.
