What does amino acid do in a leaf?

Answer 1

Plants synthesize amino acids from inorganic compounds and use them to generate a wide variety of products, including proteins, pigments, nucleotides, enzyme co?factors, hormones, structural components, and defensive agents. In most non?leguminous crop plants, the dominant organ in amino acid synthesis and distribution is the leaf, which uses the energy and carbon skeletons produced by photosynthesis to assimilate nitrogen into primary amino acid products (Gln and Glu).
