Essential Amino Acids Questions
1) What two things does our body do with protein once we break it into amino acids?
2) How many of the amino acids can we make from our food?
3) Why are some amino acids called “essential amino acids”?
4) Look at Table 1. Which amino acids does corn lack (not have)?
Which amino acids do beans and legumes lack (not have)?
5) Vegans are vegetarians that do not eat any food from animals, including milk and eggs. Why must
vegans combine foods from a variety of plant sources?
6) A new protein supplement for athletes and weightlifters advertises that it is the best because it is made
of “100% natural organic corn protein”. Why would this not be a good product for athletes and
weightlifters?
