Expert Solution
Step 1

The biomolecules which have carboxylic and amine group containing monomer units are known as proteins. The monomer units of protein are known as amino acids. The chiral carbon atom of amino acid is bonded to amine group, carboxylic group, hydrogen atom and alkyl group.

Step 2

The structure of the given amino acid is,

Chemistry homework question answer, step 2, image 1

The name of the given amino acid is glutamine. The structure of glutamine shows that it contains two amine groups, one carboxylic group and one carbonyl group. No atom in glutamine carries any positive or negative charge at normal condition. Therefore, the given amino acid is structurally neutral.
