out of 20 amino acid _______ amino acid cannot be synthesized by the body and are called essential amino acids. fill in the blank
Answers
Answer:
9 amino acids
Explanation:
Essential amino acids cannot be made by the body. As a result, they must come from food. The 9 essential amino acids are: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
There are 20 amino acids that make up proteins and all have the same basic structure, differing only in the R-group or side chain they have. The simplest, and smallest, amino acid is glycine for which the R-group is a hydrogen (H). They can be subdivided according to their properties, dictated by the functional groups they possess. Broadly they are divided by charge, hydrophobicity and polarity. These properties influence the way they interact with surrounding amino acids in polypeptides and proteins, and consequently impact protein 3D structure and properties.
