If an animal lacked certain essential amino acids from its diet what would happen? It could not synthesize phospholipids It could not make many necessary proteins It would make these missing essential amino acids from other organic molecules present in cells It would be very healthy

What is the consequence if one or more essential amino acids are missing from the diet? The body will substitute a nonessential amino acid in place of the missing amino acid. The body will substitute different sugars in place of the missing amino acid. Protein formation stops. Protein formation continues. The protein will be made using another amino acid in place of the missing one.

To maintain adequate nutrition, animals require dietary access to certain amino acids. How would you describe an amino acid that is "nonessential"? Provide an example of a nonessential amino acid.

If bacterial ribosomes were provided with mouse mRNAs, a pool of amino acids, ATP, enzymes, etc., what would happen? Mouse proteins would be synthesized. Bacterial proteins would be synthesized. No protein would be synthesized. A mixture of human proteins and bacterial proteins would be synthesized.
