SUMMARY
The discussion confirms the structures of Glycine at pH levels of 1, 6, and 13. At pH 6.1, Glycine exists as a Zwitterion, exhibiting both positive and negative charges that result in a net charge of zero. At low pH (1), Glycine is cationic, while at high pH (13), it becomes anionic. This information is crucial for understanding the behavior of Glycine in various pH environments.
