Why are certain amino acids called essential amino acids?
a. because they are available in abundance
b. because they are not manufactured by the body
c. because they can form bonds with any molecule
d. because they are the most stable among all the amino acids
e. because they are needed for the formation of all biomolecules?

Respuesta :

b. because they are not manufactured by the body
Hello!! Your best answer would be B - because they are not manufactured by the body. Essential amino acids refer to the eight amino acids the adult body needs, which they cannot be synthesized correctly or at all. The essential amino acids must be obtained from food such as proteins (meats, seafood, milk, eggs, etc). I hope this helped!! Have a great day. :)
