Answer Key / Explanation : (a) -

(a)

Twenty types of amino acids are found in proteins. These amino acids are synthesised by almost all the plants. While animals are not able to synthesise all amino acids. However, several amino acids (about 10) are synthesised by the animals through transformation or transamination. Those amino acid, which are essential component of our diet but are not synthesised inside the body, can be called as essential amino acids. These are taken in diet. Those amino acids which are synthesised by the body are termed as non-essential amino acids. Deficiency of isoleucine causes deregulation of blood sugar
