Our body needs twenty two amino acids and can manufacture some of it. There are some amino acids that cannot be manufactured by our body and therefore must be obtained from our diet. Proteins contain combinations of different amino acids.Some of them contain all amino acids required by the body
This is because animals are heterotrophic. We cannot manufacture essential amino acids in the body ( these are usually amino acids 8/10) so tear amino acids need to be obtained externally from food sources. Of we do not eat food the the body will not be able to produce these essential amino acids and the essential proteins that are needed by the body.
the body cannot manufacture them
Essential amino acids Histidine Isoleucine Leucine Lysine Methionine Phenylalanine Threonine Tryptophan Valine
Of the 20 amino acids, 10 must be taken in from an outside source; these are called nonessential amino acids.============================================================Actually its the other way round, amino acids that the human body can't manufacture are called essential amino acids. Non-essential amino acids are able to be produced by the body. Of the 20 amino acids that our bodies use, the adult body is able to manufacture 12For more information, check the link below
