Explanation of Solution
Peptides are classified as acidic, basic, or neutral according to the amino acids they contain. If they contain unbalanced basic amino acid then they are considered as basic peptide and if they contain unbalanced acidic amino acid then they are considered as basic peptides. If the basic and acidic amino acids are balanced or not at all present in the peptide then it is considered as neutral peptide.

Concept introduction:
Amino acids are classified as acidic, basic and neutral according to the functional group they possesses. Acidic amino acids are those which have one more than one carboxylic acid group in its side chain and basic amino acids are those which have one or more amino group present in their side chain. Isoelectric point of the amino acids is the pH of the dilute aqueous solution of the amino acid at which the total charge on all molecules of amino acid is zero.
