Question:
Consider the following statements:
Statement-I: Lysine, arginine are essential and basic amino acids.
Statement-II: Leucine, phenyl alanine are non-essential and neutral amino acids.
Which of the following is correct?
Consider the following statements:
Statement-I: Lysine, arginine are essential and basic amino acids.
Statement-II: Leucine, phenyl alanine are non-essential and neutral amino acids.
Which of the following is correct?
Statement-I: Lysine, arginine are essential and basic amino acids.
Statement-II: Leucine, phenyl alanine are non-essential and neutral amino acids.
Which of the following is correct?
Show Hint
Essential amino acids cannot be synthesized by the body; leucine and phenylalanine are essential, not non-essential.

- Both statement-I and statement-II are correct
- Both statement-I and statement-II are not correct
- Statement-I is correct, but statement-II is not correct
- Statement-I is not correct, but statement-II is correct
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Lysine and arginine are indeed essential and basic amino acids. However, leucine and phenylalanine are essential amino acids, not non-essential. Therefore, statement-I is correct and statement-II is incorrect.
