An amino acid that is not optically active is
Open in App
Solution
The correct option is A Glycine
An amino acid that is not optically active is Glycine. It does not have any chiral carbon or asymmetric carbon atom. It is the simplest and smallest amino acid. Amino acids like valine, isoleucine and leucine have asymmetric carbon atom and hence are optically active. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
