Step-by-step explanation:

Amino acids consist of an amine (-NH2) group and a carboxyl acid (-COOH) group. So they have elements such as Nitrogen (N), Hydrogen (H), Carbon (C) and Oxygen (O).

Amino acid composition:

  1. Nitrogen
  2. Carbon
  3. Hydrogen
  4. Oxygen

The human body has 20 amino acids which are all important but there are only 9 that are essential for the human body.

Best of Luck!
