STATEMENT-1 : Lysine, cysteine and threonine are highly soluble in water but serine and valine are slightly soluble.
STATEMENT-2 : Additional polar groups, such as −OH,−NH2 and COOH increase the solubility in water appreciably.

Solution
The correct option is A STATEMENT-1 is True, STATEMENT-2 is True; STATEMENT-2 is a correct explanation for STATEMENT-1 Lysine, cysteine and threonine contains polar groups such as −OH,−NH2and−COOH. These groups increase the solubility in water appreciably. However such groups are not present in serine and valine. Hence, they are slightly soluble.
