Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which qualitative analysis technique can separate amino acids based on their charge?
  • Step 1: Understand that amino acids can have different charges depending on their pH environment.
  • Step 2: Learn that gel electrophoresis is a technique used to separate molecules based on their charge and size.
  • Step 3: Realize that when an electric current is applied, charged amino acids will move through a gel towards the opposite charge.
  • Step 4: Know that the speed and distance they travel depend on their charge and size, allowing for separation.
  • Step 5: Conclude that gel electrophoresis is effective for analyzing amino acids qualitatively based on their charge.
