Question

Proteins are immense polymers composed of roughly twenty native amino acid monomers. Which of the following highly specific distinct groups of biologically relevant $\alpha$ -amino acids contains strictly and exclusively essential amino acids that the standard human body cannot synthesize natively?

Prashant Kotian · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. Essential amino acids definitively must be obtained entirely through an organism's diet because its own internal cellular machinery entirely lacks the specific highly complex enzymatic pathways to successfully synthesize them from scratch. Valine, Leucine, and Lysine strictly belong to this highly critical essential group.
