Which of the following is not an essential amino acid in human nutrition?
a. proline
b. threonine
c. methionine
d. tryptophan?
Answers
Answer: The correct answer is proline.
Explanation: The amino acids are considered the monomeric unit of proteins and they are the building blocks of any organism as they are required to perform cellular body functions like transportation, nerve signaling, reproduction, transcription, translation, replication and inheritance, and many other processes and there are two kinds of amino acids which are essential as they are not processed inside the body and needed to be taken from outside and the other ones are nonessential which are not synthesized in the body and not needed to be taken outside from the body so proline is the nonessential one as bod synthesizes it by itself and is involved in the synthesis of proteins and structure, metabolism (particularly the synthesis of arginine, polyamines, and glutamate via pyrroline-5-carboxylate), and nutrition, as well as wound healing, antioxidative reactions, and immune responses.
