Answer the question on basis of passage given below :
In zwitter ionic form, amino acids show amphoteric behaviour as they react both with acids and bases.
Except glycine, all other naturally occurring \(\alpha\) - amino acids are optically active, since the \(\alpha\) -carbon atom is asymmetric. These exist both in 'D' and 'L' forms. Most naturally occurring amino acids have L-configuration. L-Aminoacids are represented by writing the \(-NH_2\) group on left hand side.
\(\beta\)-D-Deoxyribose and \(\beta\)-D-ribose differs from each other in configuration at :
