What are non-essential amino acids ? Give two examples. |
| Answer» Solution :Out of the 20 amino acids required for PROTEIN synthesis, human body can synthesize only 10. These 10 amino acids which, the body can synthesize are called non-ESSENTIAL amino acids e.g. valine and phenylalanine while the remaining ten which the human body cannot synthesize are called essential amino acids. These essential amino acids are required for the growth of the body and they must be supplied from outside in the human diet, e.g. glycine and CYSTEINE. | |
