Question

What are essential and non-essential amino acids? Give two examples.

✓

Answer

(i) Essential Amino Acids: The amino acids which are required for proper growth and development and health and supplied through diet are known essential amino acids. For example, valine, leucine, proline etc.
(ii) Non-essential Amino Acids: Non-essential amino acids are those which are produced in human body. Example: Proline, Glycine, Serine.
