Why amino acids are called. Zwitter ions? What is essential and non-essential Amino acids? Write the physiological important of Amino acids? 1+2+3=6

There is an internal transfer of a hydrogen ion from the -COOH group to the -NH2 group to leave an ion with both a negative charge and a positive charge.This is called a zwitterion.
An amino acid has both a basic amine group and an acidic carboxylic acid group. So amion acid called a zwitterion.
Essential Amino Acids: Amino acids which can't be created in our body but can only be received from proper food or diet are called Essential Amino Acids. Ex- Histidine, Isoleucine, Lysine.
Non- essential amino acids: Amino acids which can be created in our body itself are Non- essential amino acids.
Ex -alanine, arginine, asparagine, aspartic acid.
The essential amino acid are the amino acid which body donot able to make on its own,but it can be obtained by taking food .There are 8 essential amino acid present like mithonine ,valixe,tryptophan, inoleunine, lysine, threonine, and phenyl alenine. Histidine is the 9 th amino acid which is necessary for the babies. These amino acids are use to create new protin in the body and it helps to keep body healthy. The non essential amino acid are synthesized by the body itself. There are 11 amino acids it also helps to build the protin.
