|text = Amino acids are the structural components of proteins in all plants, animals and fungi. Amino acids are considered either indispensable ('''essential''') or dispensable ('''non-essential''').
*'''Essential amino acids''' are those that are required pre-formed in the diet as the animal either lacks the metabolic pathway to synthesise the given amino acid or is unable to make sufficient quantities for growth and normal physiologic/biochemical functions.
*'''Non-essential amino acids''' are those that can be produced endogenously from available nitrogen and carbon sources.
