Biochem

Question 1

Essential Amino Acids
(can not be produced or synthesized in cell, must be in diet)

Answer 1

1. phenylaline
2. Valine
3. Trypotophan
4. Threonine
5. Isoleucine
6. Methionine (contain sulfur group)
7. Histidine
8. Arginine (not always essential) only essential in childhood
9. Leucine
10. Lysine
    three basic acids: Lysine, histidine, arginine

Additional: Cysteine (only if you do not get enough methionine in diet)

Tyrosine if you dont get enough phenylalanine in diet.

Phenylalynine, threonine, methionine, and lysine are deficient in plant material .

All three branching aminos are essential: Valine, isoleucine, leucine.

basic amino (HAL) are essential
methionine essential (provide organism with sulfur)
Phenylalanine (benzine)

Question 2

Amino Acid grouping (polar)

Answer 2

Histidine
Arginine
Lysine
Aspartic acid
Glutamic acid
Asparagine
Glutamine
serine
threonine
tyrosine
cysteine

Question 3

Amino Acid (non-polar) VIP MALT Ph Glycine

Answer 3

valine
Isoleucine
Proline
MEthionine
Alanine
Leucine
Tryptophan
Phenylalanine
Glycine

Question 4

Acidic vs Basic

Answer 4

acidic have acid in name
Asparatic Acid
Glutamic Acid

Basic: (HAL)
HIstidine
Arginine
Lysine

Question 5

Branched Chain amino acids (VIL)

Answer 5

Valine
Isoleuicine
Leucine

Question 6
