Answer;

Essential amino acids

Explanation;

  • Essential amino acids are amino acids that are not manufactured by the body.
  • Since essential amino acids cannot be made by the body they must come from food.
  • There are nine essential amino acids which include: histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine.
