Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ amino acids are the eight amino acids that the body cannot produce and therefore must be consumed in a person’s diet.
A
fatty
B
saturated
C
essential
D
optional
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -They’re vital for functions throughout your body, including protein synthesis, tissue repair, and nutrient absorption. Some may also help prevent muscle loss, support recovery after surgery, and improve mood, sleep, and athletic performance.

Detailed explanation-3: -Foods that contain all nine essential amino acids are called complete proteins. These foods include beef, poultry, fish, eggs, dairy, soy, quinoa and buckwheat. Foods that contain some but not all the essential amino acids are called incomplete proteins. These foods include nuts, seeds, beans and some grains.

Detailed explanation-4: -The body cannot synthesize nine amino acids. Thus, it is essential that these are consumed in the diet.

Detailed explanation-5: -THE REQUIREMENT FOR AMINO ACIDS The required amounts of the nine essential amino acids must be provided in the diet, but because cystine can replace approximately 30% of the requirement for methionine, and tyrosine about 50% of the requirement for phenylalanine, these amino acids must also be considered.
