Name the 9 essential amino acids
HILLMPTTV
9 essential amino acids are: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
Lysine can be found in
Lysine is in meat, eggs, soy, black beans, quinoa, and pumpkin seeds.
Histidine can be found in
Meat, fish, poultry, nuts, seeds, and whole grains contain large amounts of histidine.
threonine can be found in
Cottage cheese and wheat germ contain high quantities of threonine.
Methionine can be found in
eggs, grains, nuts, and seeds
Valine can be found in
Valine is in soy, cheese, peanuts, mushrooms, whole grains, and vegetables.
Isoleucine can be found in
Isoleucine is plentiful in meat, fish, poultry, eggs, cheese, lentils, nuts, and seeds.
leucine can be found in
Dairy, soy, beans, and legumes are sources of leucine.
Phenylalanine can be found in
Phenylalanine is in dairy, meat, poultry, soy, fish, beans, and nuts.
Tryptophan can be found in
Tryptophan is in most high-protein foods, including wheat germ, cottage cheese, chicken, and turkey.
When pH is below the pKa the functional group is:
protonated
When the pH is ABOVE the pKa, the functional group is:
deprotonated.
Charge/neutrality will depend on whether the chemical is:
an acid or a base (functional groups).
A base deprotonated and/or an Acid protonated is:
neutral in charge
As you increase the pH above the pKa the deprotonated form :
dominates
