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.

They are called essential because unlike the other ten unessential ones, they cannot be produced in our bodies. They must be obtained in our diet.

  • EXAMPLE THREE-The organisms share a common ancestry. The organisms belong to the same genus. The organisms are native to the same geographic areas. The organisms will grow into anatomically similar adults.
  • EXAMPLE FOUR-The jaws of hominids evolved to be smaller and less protruding over time.The jaws of hominids evolved to be larger and more protruding over time.There appears to be no change in the jaws of hominids over time. The jaws of hominids changed over time due to a change in brain size.
  • EXAMPLE FIVE-Species 1 is most closely related to Species 8. Species 2 is most closely related to Species 3. Species 3 is most closely related to Species 7. Species 5 is most closely related to Species 6.
  • EXAMPLE SIX- DNA sequences ,Anatomical features ,Habitat types  and Reproductive Strategies
