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.
What food contains starch?
Starch is often found in the fruit, seeds, rhizomes or tubers of plants and is the major source of energy in these food items. The major resources for starch production and consumption worldwide are rice, wheat, corn, and potatoes. Cooked foods containing starches include boiled rice, various forms of bread and noodles (including pasta). As an additive for food processing, arrowroot and tapioca are commonly used as well. Commonly used starches around the world are: arracacha, buckwheat, banana, barley, cassava, kudzu, oca, sago, sorghum, regular household potatoes, sweet potato, taro and yams. Edible beans, such as favas, lentils and peas, are also rich in starch. When a starch is pre-cooked, it can then be used to thicken cold foods. This is referred to as a pregelatinized starch. Otherwise starch requires heat to thicken, or "gelatinize."[vague]The actual temperature depends on the type of starch. A modified food starch undergoes one or more chemical modifications, which allow it to function properly under high heat and/or shear frequently encountered during food processing. Food starches are typically used as thickeners and stabilizers in foods such as puddings, custards, soups, sauces, gravies, pie fillings, and salad dressings, but have many other uses. Resistant starch is starch that escapes digestion in the small intestine of healthy individuals. Plants use starch as a way to store excess glucose, and thus also use starch as food during mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation.
What is another name of tubers?

Are carrots tubers?
Carrots are roots, not tubers.
What is a sentence with the word tubers?
I have three types of tubers in my garden.
What is the function of iodine in plant histology?
In plant histology, iodine is commonly used as a stain to detect the presence of starch in plant tissues. Iodine reacts with starch molecules, forming a blue-black color complex. This staining technique helps identify storage tissues such as roots, tubers, and seeds, where starch is abundant.
What is the word for crushed tubers?
"mashed potatoes" are crushed tubers.
What organism reproduce tubers?
dahlias reproduce by using tubers
Is potato root?
A potato produce underground tubers. It is the tubers that are edible.
How do you plant tubers?

What is tuberous?
Tubers are various types of modified plant structures that are enlarged to store nutrients. They are used by plants to overwinter and regrow the next year and as a means of asexual reproduction. Two different groups of tubers are: stem tubers, and root tubers
Where should I store my dahlia tubers?
Dahlia tubers can be stored in a heated garage, crawl space or basement. Or you can choose to just buy new tubers each year.
What is a sentence using the word tubers?
The tubers can use another week before we dig them up.
