The correct answer is:
The first amino acid in the polypeptide chain is called as C-terminal amino acid and the last amino acid is called as N-terminal amino acid.
The N-terminus (also known as the amino-terminus, NH2-terminus, N-terminal end or amine-terminus) refers to the start of a protein or polypeptide terminated by an amino acid with a free amine group (-NH2). The convention for writing peptide sequences is to put the N-terminus on the left and write the sequence from N- to C-terminus.
