Neurons are the functional units of the nervous system in the body.

Amino acids are a crucial, yet basic unit of protein, and they contain an amino group and a carboxylic group. They play an extensive role in gene expression processes.

Amino acids become proteins when 50 or more are bonded together in a chain. All the millions of different proteins in living things are formed by the bonding of only 20 amino acids.

Eight of these amino acids are essential and cannot be produced by the body.

They are:

• Leucine

• Isoleucine

• Lysine

• Threonine

• Methionine

• Phenylalanine

• Valine

• Tryptophan

•  Histidine is an amino acid that is categorized as semi-essential since the human body doesn't always need it to properly function

Nonessential amino acids are produced by the human body either from essential amino acids or from normal protein breakdowns. Nonessential amino acids include:

• Asparagine

• Alanine

• Arginine

• Aspartic acid

• Cysteine

• Glutamic acid

• Glutamine

• Proline

• Glycine

• Tyrosine

• Serine.

Enzymes play an essential role in each living cell of our body. Enzymes are globular proteins that control biological reactions. These are of two types.

1. Intracellular enzymes

2. Extracellular enzymes

Intracellular enzymes are found inside the cell.

Extracellular enzymes act outside the cell.

Enzymes are produced by exocrine glands.

Digestive enzymes of diverse specificities are secreted by the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas, and the small intestine.
