    Essential amino acids are called essential because these proteins are not synthesized by the human body, while non essential amino acids are readily manufactured in our body. That is why it is important to consume foods rich in protein to have complete types of protein in our body.

    The correct answers are:

    Essential amino acids:

    Made from Aspartate and Pyruvate in an eleven-step pathway

    Branched-chain amino acids

    Obtained from food only

    Methionine

    Threonine

    Nonessential amino acids:

    Synthesized by humans

    An amino acid synthesized from pyruvate in humans

    Both

    The amino acid that is a thioether

    Derived from 3-phosphoglycerate, a glycolytic intermediate
