Question
Chapter 35, Problem 8RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason why certain amino acids are essential for humans but not for plants. Explain.
Introduction:
A nutrient is defined as ‘essential’ when it is needed by the organism but cannot be synthesized by the body. Thus, the nutrients must be ingested in foods and then digested and absorbed within the body. Vitamin C is needed for the growth and repair of tissue in all parts of the human body. It forms an important protein used to make skin, ligaments and blood vessels.

10. Your instructor will give you 2 amino acids during the activity session (video 2-7.
A. First color all the polar and non-polar covalent bonds in the R groups of your 2 amino acids
using the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds in the backbone of each amino acid.
B. Next, color where all the hydrogen bonds, hydrophobic interactions and ionic bonds could
occur in the R group of each amino acid. Use the same colors as in #7. Do not color the bonds
in the backbone of each amino acid.
C. Position the two amino acids on the page below in an orientation where the two R groups
could bond together. Once you are satisfied, staple or tape the amino acids in place and label
the bond that you formed between the two R groups.
- Polar covalent Bond - Red
- Non polar Covalent boND- yellow

Find the dental formula and enter it in the following format:
I3/3 C1/1 P4/4 M2/3 = 42 (this is not the correct number, just the correct format)
Please be aware: the upper jaw is intact (all teeth are present). The bottom jaw/mandible is not intact. The front teeth should include 6 total rectangular teeth (3 on each side) and 2 total large triangular teeth (1 on each side).
