Eggs, fish and cocoa.
Their are 20 base amino acids. The body can produce 12 of them- the other 8 need to be obtained from food.
Amino acids are building blocks for the body's construction. There are 20 amino acids, but only 8 are called Essential Amino Acids.
From what I understand is that your body can make protein from the amino acids it makes in your cells. Well, there is 8 essential Amino Acids that your body can not make. That is why we eat animal proteins( such as eggs, milk, meat, and fish) because they contain those 8 essential amino acids. There is Essential Amino Acids in plants, just there is very rarely all 8 of the essential amino acids.So one of the main reasons we eat proteins is to get the essentail amino acids. With these Amino acids, your body can make the protein it needs.
There are nine essential amino acids. A protein is considered to be complete if it contains all nine of these amino acids.
Amino acids are made by reading the code in DNA. They are combined with other amino acids to form a protein.

They are actually called amino acids. Anyway amino acids are small molecules that are linked chemically to other amino acids to form proteins.
The primary uses of amino acids are as building blocks for protein and peptide synthesis and as a source of nitrogen for the synthesis of other amino acids. Amino acids considered to be "surplus" will be catabolized meaning surplus amino acids are used as metabolic fuel.
There are 20 standard amino acids. A few proteins have other amino acids but these are usually derived from the 20 standard amino acids.
Amino acids are the only building blocks for protein.
The monomers of proteins are amino acids.
Otherwise the amino groups would form immines with other amino acids.
