Most prokaryotes, many simple eukaryotes, and plants can synthesize all 20 amino acids used in protein synthesis from simple organic precursors and metabolic intermediates. Mammals and other animals can only synthesize a subset of these amino acids (12 nonessential amino acids). The remaining amino acids (8 essential amino acids) must be obtained from the diet. 1, record 1, English, - amino%20acid%20biosynthesis
