Question

directions: select each correct entry in the table.
amino acids contain the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sometimes sulfur. of the 20 amino acids found in humans, 11 are called
onessential\ because they can be manufactured by the body when needed.
which elements in these 11 amino acids are commonly obtained from the metabolism of sugar molecules?
table with entries: nitrogen, hydrogen, sulfur, carbon, oxygen

Explanation:

Sugar molecules (carbohydrates) are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. When non - essential amino acids are synthesized from sugar metabolism, the elements obtained from sugar metabolism would be the elements that make up sugar, i.e., carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Nitrogen and sulfur are not part of sugar molecules, so they are not obtained from sugar metabolism for these amino acids.

Answer:

hydrogen, carbon, oxygen
