These are known as non-essential amino acids because they can be produced by the organism. As for which amino acids are essential and non-essential varies per organism. Many bacteria can synthesize all amino acids and therefore all are non-essential.
an amino acid that the body can produce without supplementation and includes glycine, alanine, and serine
the body cannot make them
The essential amino acids are arginine (required for the young, but not for adults), histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. These amino acids are required in the diet. Plants, of course, must be able to make all the amino acids. Humans, on the other hand, do not have all the the enzymes required for the biosynthesis of all of the amino acids.
No, not really. It is an acid, and it does contain an amino group, but it is not generally considered an amino acid per se. The amino acids we generally speak of are alpha amino acids, and creatine is NOT one of those. When you ask if it is "from amino acids", then the answer would be YES. It is made in the body from several amino acids, such as methionine, glycine and arginine.
There are 20-22amino acids. You may be refering to the 4 genetic bases. These are Guanine, Adenine, Thymine and Cytosine.
The monomers in proteins are called macromolecule. Monomers are bonded together by chemicals.
Amino acids that organisms obtain from eating food are classified as essential. These amino acids cannot be synthesized in the body.
the body cannot make them
there are twenty two amino acid in body out of which eight are essential because they are not synthesise in body and they make other amino acid by metabolism.

The conditionally essential amino acids in humans are the amino acids arginine, cysteine, glycine, glutamine, histidine, proline, serine and tyrosine. They are considered conditionally essential, which means they are not normally required in the diet, but must be supplied as a supplement to specific populations that do not synthesize it in adequate amounts. An example would be with the disease phenylketonuria (PKU). Individuals living with PKU must keep their intake of phenylalanine extremely low to prevent mental retardation and other metabolic complications. However, they cannot synthesize tyrosine from phenylalanine, so tyrosine becomes essential in the diet of PKU patients.

Acid are those which donates protons (H+). bronsted and lowry theory. amino acids and fatty acids produces protons that's why they are called Acids .
The monomers of proteins are amino acids.
There are 20 amino acids necessary for human beings. However, the diversity of proteins is compensated by long, varied, and complex chains of polypeptides. There are far more than 20 amino acids overall, although most are not especially important in Biology. See related question below for a listing of all amino acids.
The monomers in proteins are called macromolecule. Monomers are bonded together by chemicals.
When proteins are digested, their chemical bonds are broken down into their composite amino acids (AAs), freeing those AAs up for other uses.
