Aren't some amino acids synthesized in animals?
- globular-toast 7mo agoNone that we need and can't get directly from plants.
- bsjshshsb 7mo agoOk but I am wondering about the truth of: > All protein on the planet, was made from sunlight and photosynthesis
- globular-toast 7mo agoAh, yeah, some amino acids are synthesised in animals. We synthesise a handful of them ourselves. But there are still a bunch that we can't synthesise and need to get from our diet. I think that goes for all animals. Since you need a complete supply of all amino acids to make protein then plants provide the essential link in the chain so you could say it all comes from photosynthesis ultimately.
