How many nonessential amino acids are produced in the body?
a-9
b-11
c-20
d-28

The correct answer is option b, that is, 11.

Explanation:

The organic components which combine to produce proteins are known as amino acids. The proteins and the amino acids are considered as the fundamental building elements of life. The human body utilizes amino acids to produce proteins that assist the body to grow, dissociate down food, repair damaged tissues of the body, and to perform various other activities.  

Amino acids are categorized into three prime groups, that is, the essential, non-essential, and conditional amino acids. The essential amino acids are not produced within the body and had to be taken via an external source. There are nine essential amino acids.  

The nonessential amino acids are the ones that get produced within the body, even if one does not take it from outside, they are produced spontaneously. These amino acids are 11 in number. These are arginine, alanine, cysteine, aspartic acid, glutamine, glutamic acid, proline, glycine, tyrosine, serine, and asparagine.
