Answer:

Oxygen or Hydrogen?

Step-by-step explanation:

To make amino acids, fermentation tanks are filled with molasses and sugar ingredients such as sugar cane, corn and cassava. Ideal conditions are achieved for stirring, oxygen supply, temperature and pH levels. The desired amino acids are then purified from this fermented broth.

"An amino acid is an organic molecule that is made up of a basic amino group (−NH2), an acidic carboxyl group (−COOH), and an organic R group (or side chain) that is unique to each amino acid."

Hope this helps
