Question
The monoamino monocarboxylic acids have two pKa values.
✓

Answer

In aqueous solution, monoamino monocarboxylic acid behave like salt at isoelectric point. At a pH lower than isoelectric point (i.e., in acidic medium) it showsone pKa value which corresponds to structure $\text{R}-\text{CH}-\text{COOH}\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|}\\\ \ \ \ \ ^+\text{NH}_3$ and at a pH higher than isoelectric point (i.e., basic medium), it shows another pKa value which corresponds to structure $\text{R}-\text{CH}-\text{COO}^-\\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{|}\\\ \ \ \ \ \text{NH}_2$
