Which is the stronger base, NH3 or H2N-CH2COOH?

2 answers

H2N-CH2COOH is stronger because of the electron donating ability of CH2COOH
The information I can find is that the pKa for the amine group is 9.6. pKa for NH3 is 9.25 which would make NH3 the stronger acid; thus the weaker base. Check my thinking.
