The correct Answer is:
To determine which pair consists of one essential amino acid and one non-essential amino acid, we will categorize the given amino acids based on their classification. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Definitions**: - **Essential Amino Acids**: These amino acids cannot be synthesized by the body and must be obtained through diet. - **Non-Essential Amino Acids**: These amino acids can be synthesized by the body, so they do not need to be obtained from the diet. 2. **List the Given Amino Acids**: - Lysine - Leucine - Valine - Tyrosine - Methionine - Threonine - Alanine - Cysteine 3. **Categorize Each Amino Acid**: - **Essential Amino Acids**: - Lysine - Leucine - Valine - Methionine - Threonine - **Non-Essential Amino Acids**: - Tyrosine - Alanine - Cysteine 4. **Evaluate Each Pair**: - **Lysine and Leucine**: Both are essential (incorrect). - **Leucine and Valine**: Both are essential (incorrect). - **Valine and Tyrosine**: Valine is essential, Tyrosine is non-essential (correct). - **Methionine and Threonine**: Both are essential (incorrect). - **Alanine and Cysteine**: Both are non-essential (incorrect). 5. **Identify the Correct Pair**: - The only pair that consists of one essential and one non-essential amino acid is **Valine (essential) and Tyrosine (non-essential)**. ### Conclusion: The correct answer is the pair **Valine and Tyrosine**. ---
