Answer: Essential amino acids play vital role in various processes occuring in the body like energy production, nutrient absorption, tissue growth, immune function.

These are- Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine,  Threonine, Tryptophan, and Valine.

They are not synthesized by the human body. So they must be taken as supplements from the food. If body does not get these amino acids, the first response is the breakdown of muscle tissue. Thus, wastage of muscle is the first symptom associated with the deficiency of these amino acids. Other effects can include weakness, low immune response, and fatigue.

Therefore, they are called as essential amino acids.

Which action is prevented by the plasma membrane?
Travka [436]
Plasma membrane is a part of the cell made of a lipid bilayer and an embedded protein layer. It protects the cell from the surroundings and also controls the materials leaving or entering the cell. The membrane is semipermeable and therefore allows certain materials to enter or leave the cell. In this case, the plasma membrane may prevent unlimited flow of water into or out of the cell.
