What are plants called that lack amino acids called?

How does protein help?

When proteins are digested, they turn to amino acids. These amino acids make new red blood cells to replace damaged ones or old ones. In addition you can get a disease called Kwashiorkor if you have lack of proteins.

What are the diseases due to deficiency of sulfur in animals?

No diseases occur. Sulfur helps make amino acids and amino acids make up protein. So deficiency would be a lack in synthesis of amino acids.

Why would the liver not produce enzymes?

A lack of Amino Acids.

How are amino acids different from fatty acids?

Short Answer is: fatty acids lack Nitrogen atoms. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. They are made up of the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. They have the functional groups carboxyl (COOH) and amine (H2N). Fatty acids or LIPIDS - [fats from animals, oils from plants] - are the building blocks of triglycerides. They are made of of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and DO NOT contain nitrogen. They have the functional groups carbonyl (HCO) and carboxyl (COOH).

What is the specific term that refers to an amino acid whose lack inhibits protein synthesis?

The amino acid synthesis inhibitors is a term used to describe amino acids that lack inhibits protein synthesis. These inhibitors include the sulfonylureas, imidazolinones, and amino acid derivatives herbicide families

What is protein and why do we need it?

Proteins are polymers of amino acid monomers. Proteins are the chemical "workhorses" and "structural building blocks" of living things. We need to eat foods containing proteins so that we can take them apart to their component amino acids, then later reassemble those amino acids to make our own proteins as we lack the ability to synthesize amino acids ourselves.

Poteins that lack one or more essential amino acids are said to be of?

in complete proteins =]

Which essential amino acids do pulses lack?

They tend to be low in tryptophan, methionine (or cysteine). This can be remedied by adding whole wheat or brown rice to your diet.

Why is protein listed on all food labels?

Protein is an essential nutrient, needed for growth and repair of tissues. For this reason, it is listed on food labels. It is actually the amino acids that proteins are made of that we need to make our own proteins. So before we can use the protein in our food we have to digestit ie break it down into amino acids. The amino acids are then absorbed into the blood and used to make new proteins. Amino acids which are present in excess are broken down in the liver into a substance called urea which we excrete in the urine. Amino acids which the body cannot make, and so must be obtained from our food, are called essential amino acids. Amino acids which the body can make are called non-essential. Proteins are sometimes classified as first class (which contain all of the amino acids which we need) and second class (which lack some essential amino acids). http://www.netfit.co.uk/nutrition/nutrition/proteins.htm http://www.nutrition.org.uk/home.asp?siteId=43&sectionId=299&which=1

What may eventually happen to the body's tissues if the diet does not contain esential amino acids?

Most foods contain all the essential amino acids.Protein is made from amino acids. Humans can synthesize most of the amino acids that we need to make protein, with the exception of nine essential amino acids (histadine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine) that must come from the foods we eat.In 1914, Thomas B. Osborne and Lafayette B. Mendel conducted studies which suggested that rats grew best when fed a combination of plant foods whose amino acid patterns resembled that of animal tissue. The term "complete protein" was coined to describe a protein in which all nine essential amino acids are present in the same proportion that they occur in animals. "Incomplete protein" described the varying amino acid patterns in plants. It's a misleading term, because it suggest that humans (and other animals, one would assume) can't get enough essential amino acids to make protein from plants.Fortunately, the theory that plant proteins are somehow "incomplete" and therefore inadequate has been disproven. All unrefined foods have varying amounts of protein with varying amino acid profiles, including leafy green vegetables, tubers, grains, legumes, and nuts. All the essential and nonessential amino acids are present in any single one of these foods in amounts that meet or exceed your needs, even if you are an endurance athlete or body builder.Whenever you eat, your body stores amino acids, and then withdraws them when it needs them to make protein. It is not necessary to eat any particular food or any particular combination of foods together at one sitting, to make complete protein. Your body puts together amino acids from food to make protein throughout the day.
