Which of the following options consist of non-essential amino acids only?

A
Valine, leucine, glycine, alanine
Correct answer
B
Glycine, serine, proline, glutamic acid
C
Proline, aspartic acid, glutamic acid, methionine
D
Cysteine, tyrosine, alanine, isoleucine

Solution

Non-essential amino acids are those amino acids which can be synthesized by human body from raw materials. Glycine, serine, proline, glutamic acid all are nonessential amino acids.
