Answer:

Tears come out of our eyes when we cut an Onion bcz-

Explanation:

These compounds consist of methionine and cystine that are part of the amino acid family. (Protein is made up of several of these amino acids grouped together.)

When an onion is sliced or diced, the onion's cells release these compounds into the air. When this occurs, "enzyme" works to alter the amino acids into lachrymator compounds. This form of sulfuric acid irritates the nerves around the eyes making them tear.

Answer:

When an onion is cut, an enzyme called allinase is released from the broken cells, converting the amino acid alliin (an amino acid not present in proteins) to a substance called allicin. ... In response, our eyes secrete tears to wash away the allicin and we begin to cry
