Joanna Q.
The proteins in the body are made of combinations of individual amino acids known as the building blocks of protein. Amino acids are composed of a central carbon connected to a hydrogen atom, an acid group, an amine group, and a side chain. The side chain is the group that varies for each amino acid. Of the 20 amino acids utilized in the body, 11 are considered to meet physiological needs and therefore do not need to be obtained from the diet, unless certain disorders or illnesses arise. Under normal healthy circumstances, the body is able to produce enough of the necessary amino acids, including those with a side chain.
