Answer:

only 10 out of 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Humans can produce 10 of the 20 amino acids. The others must be supplied in the food. ... The essential amino acids are arginine (required for the young, but not for adults), histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine. These amino acids are required in the diet.
