Name three essential amino acids.

Essential amino acids are those that cannot be synthesized by the body biochemically, so they need to be obtained from other sources (food).

Of the 22 standard amino acids, 9 are essential. This includes Histidine, Isoleucine, Leucine... and a whole lot of others.

Rightwards Arrow Polyunsaturated means that the fatty acid has multiple double-bonds.
Rightwards Arrow Monounsaturated means that the fatty acid has a single double-bond somewhere thoughout the molecule.

Both are generally considered beneficial, but more so are the polyunsaturated.
