Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The given essential amino acid should be classified glucogenic, ketogenic or both

Concept Introduction:

Amino acids: Compound that contains an amino group, a carboxyl group a side chain that is specific to each amino acid.

Several type of amino acids the amino group is on the carbon adjacent to the carbonyl group.

They are molecules containing an amino group a carboxyl group a carboxylic acid group and side-chain that is specific to each amino acids.

Essential amino acid:

  • This type of amino acid that cannot be synthesised by the organism or can only make in inadequate and therefore must be supplied in the diet.
  • Need to be consumed from the diet
  • Than the eight to ten essential amino acid
  • Depends on species and physiological state.  

Nonessential amino acid

One of 11 amino acids that are synthesizes in the body and are therefore not necessary in the die.
