Biological roles: 1. Amino acids can be metabolized to produce energy. This is especially. important during fasting, when the breakdown of muscle protein is a major. source of energy and biosynthetic precursors. 2. Some amino acids act as neurotransmitters, and some act as starting.
Essential amino acids. Humans can produce 10 of the 20 amino acids. The others must be supplied in the food. Failure to obtain enough of even 1 of the 10 essential amino acids, those that we cannot make, results in degradation of the body's proteinsâmuscle and so forthâto obtain the one amino acid that is needed. Unlike fat and starch, the human body does not store excess amino acids for later useâthe amino acids must be in the food every day.
