Essential amino acids refer to the eight amino acids the adult body needs, which they cannot be synthesized correctly or at all.
The essential amino acids must be obtained from food such as proteins (meats, seafood, milk, eggs, etc).

BCAAs are considered essential because, unlike non-essential amino acids, your body cannot make them. Therefore, it is essential to get them from your diet. Bottom Line: The three BCAAs are leucine, isoleucine and valine. All have a branched molecular structure and are considered essential to the human body.

A) contain DNA.

B) contain ribosomes.

C) are capable of living independently.

D) are surrounded by a double membrane.

Answer:

Option C) are capable of living independently  is not supported by the endosymbiosis theory concerning organelles

Explanation:

The endosymbiosis theory proves that chloroplasts and mitochondria were prokaryotic cells before due to many reasons. Some of which are:

  • These organelles have their own separate DNA.
  • The separate DNA present in them is capable of making their own proteins.
  • They are membrane- bound organelles.

However, these organelles can now not live separately outside of the cell. This might be because of the evolutionary changes which  occurred in these cells during the long period of time.
