Which of the following is an essential amino acid that must be obtained from the diet?
A. Glycine
B. Serine
C. Alanine
D. Lysine
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Essential amino acids are those that the human body cannot synthesize in sufficient quantities and must be obtained through the diet. There are nine essential amino acids: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. Glycine, alanine, and serine are non-essential amino acids that the body can produce.
