OpenStudy (frostbite):

Never in my life I've heard the expression limiting- and complementary amino acids (same goes for any possible translation to my native language). But I'm going to dare my self to make a guess: You do know that we have some essential amino acids (about half of the 20 common amino acids) I suppose they are the ones that are being mentioned with your question. We get those amino acids from our diet.

OpenStudy (frostbite):

There are also some conditionally essential... for example if the urea cycle starts to fail.

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

i havent heard of this either ryaan

OpenStudy (anonymous):

:( Why My teacher gave this question ......*cries*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm going to guess..essential amino acids are complementary? :I

OpenStudy (frostbite):

What do you mean complementary?

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

not really..:( i also gave a quick search...but no..nothing...are u sure it amino acids?

OpenStudy (frostbite):

I go get my dictionary!!

OpenStudy (frostbite):

Haven't used it in years"!.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah..they're amino acids...But I guess complementary is another term for essential amino acids that we get from food//

OpenStudy (frostbite):

Yes complementary amino acids = essential amino acids.

OpenStudy (frostbite):

thank you dictionary.

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

yes...my every google search led me to essential amino acid..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

haha thankyou dictionary+ frostbite+shrutipande..:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Aaaa and what bout limiting amino acids?

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

Limiting amino acid) An essential amino acid or indispensable amino acid is an amino acid that cannot be synthesized natively by the organism being considered, and therefore must be supplied in its diet. thats a search

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So they both are same? :O

OpenStudy (frostbite):

Yep.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay..Essential amino acids are also called complementary and limiting amino acids.

OpenStudy (shrutipande9):

lol..yes..i guess..but this is d first time i heard this name for essential aa's

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (frostbite):
