Document Summary

Animal products provide an excellent source of b vitamins and minerals such as iron, zinc, and calcium. Plant sources of protein are a good source of most, but not all, b vitamins and they also supply iron, zinc, and calcium, but in less-absorbable forms. (picture for names) 20 amino acids arefound in proteins, 9 cannot be made by the adult human body, -essential amino acids. The 11 nonessential amino acids can be made by the human body and are not required in the diet. Most can be made by transamination, -an amino group from one essential amino acid group, is transferred to a carbon- containing molecule to form a different amino acid. Tyrosine can be made in the body from phenylalanine, if short supply, tyrosine cannot be made and becomes essential in the diet. Can be synthesized in the body through transamination: alanine, aspartic acid, asparagine, glutamic acid, serine.
