Question

The body can make how many of the 20 amino acids it needs

Answer 1

Human bodies can produce 10

Answer 2

Answer: Humans can produce 10 of the 20 amino acids. The others must be supplied in the food. Failure to obtain enough of even 1 of the 10 essential amino acids, those that we cannot make, results in degradation of the body's proteins—muscle and so forth—to obtain the one amino acid that is needed.
