Question

If your body only produces 12 of the amino acids needed to make proteins, where do you think we get the other 8 from?

Answer 1

From the food we eat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Animal proteins contain the nine essential amino acids that our body is not able to make. Most vegetarian foods, such as beans and grains, do not have all nine essential amino acids. The human digestive system absorbs the proteins from the food that it receives and puts them to work in the body.
