Final answer:

Calculating the molar ratio of methionine to glycine requires knowing the molar amounts of each amino acid in the samples. Without this data, the molar ratio cannot be determined. Therefore, the options provided (1:1, 2:1, 1:2, 3:2) are not applicable.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question regarding the molar ratio of methionine to glycine in the samples cannot be directly answered without the appropriate data indicating the quantities or concentrations of these amino acids. To calculate the molar ratio, one would need to know the molar amounts of methionine and glycine present in the samples. Given the molar mass of glycine (C₂H₅O₂N) which is approximately 75 g/mol, a molar ratio calculation would involve comparing the number of moles of methionine to the number of moles of glycine found in a given sample.

Without detailed information on the molar amounts, options a) 1:1, b) 2:1, c) 1:2, and d) 3:2 are not relevant to the information provided.
