Answer 1

The correct option is B The living systems in animals can synthesise only essential amino acids.

• Essential amino acids:- Essential amino acids$\left(9\right)$ cannot be made by the body. As a result, they must come from food.
  
• Non-essential amino acids:- An amino acid that can be made by the body and so is not essential to the diet.
  

The living system in plants can synthesize all the amino acids while the living system of animals can only synthesize non-essential amino acids.
