Amino - acid
Amino acid are organic compounds that contains both amino acid and carboxylic and fuctional gruop.
- The amino group- (-NH2) is basic in nature.
- The Carboxyl group- (-COOH) is acid in nature.

Essential amino acid-
Essential amino acid are the amino acids which have to be taken in through diet as they, can not be produced by the body.
Example-
Number of amino acid-
9 amino acid out of 20 are through to be essential.
Sources-
As the defination implies, essential amino acid have to be acquird through food such as soy, quinoa, egg, chicken and meet etc.
Role-
Serve to build and repair muscle tissue, also its forms precursor molecules for the formation of neurotronsmitters in the brain.
Deficiency-
Highly probably as these amino acid are acquired through food.
Fuction of essential amino acid-
- Methionine is used in the treatment of kidney stones.
- Leucine is involved in protein synthesis and growth hormones.
- Histidine is involved in many enzymatic processes both red blood cell.
- Valine is important for muscle growth.

Non-Essential amino acid-
out of 20 amino acids, our body can easily synthesize a few on its own, which are called
non-essential amino acid.
Example-
Alanine, Aspartic acid, Proline, Glycine etc.
Number of amino acid-
11 amino acid out of 20 are non-essential.
Sources-
Are produced within the body from orther amino acid and components.
Role-
Removal of toxins intergral in the synthesis of RBC and WBC promotes brains fuction and many more.
Deficiency-
Probability of deficiency is rare, but can still occur due to starvation or illness.
Fuction of non-essential amino acid-
- Alanine fuctions by removing toxins from our body.
- Glutamine promotes a healthy brain fuction.
- Serine helps in promoting muscle growth.
- Proline is involved in the repairing of the tissue.
