Chapter 41, Problem 1IQ
How can vegetarians obtain all the essential amino acids from their diet?
Expert Solution & Answer
Summary Introduction
To explain: The way in which vegetarians obtain all the essential amino acids from their diet.
Introduction: Amino acids are organic molecules containing amine and carboxyl functional groups. Cells, muscles, and tissues are made up of proteins, which are polymers of amino acids.
Explanation of Solution
Most plant proteins deficient in one or more essential amino acids. Most of the organisms or animals have the ability to produce certain amino acids using certain enzymes. The remaining amino acids must be acquired from the animal's diet in a pre-fabricated form. Hence, vegetarians must have a combination of plant food in their diet that must contain complementary amino acids like corn and beans.
