Amino Acid Quizzes & Trivia

Amino acids are an important part of everyday life. They are a part of the proteins that muscles are made of! Most of us learned a little about them in science classes, but how much do you really remember? Did you know that there are over 500 different amino acids? Did you know that glycine is the smallest one, and tryptophan is the largest?

Some amino acids carry either a positive or negative charge, while others have no charge at all. Did you know that they are referred to as either polar or non-polar? If you think these questions are easy, then you are definitely a science whiz! Try out some of our quizzes and see how high you can score!
