Question

The amino acid Tryptophan is the precursor for the synthesis of:

D VINOD · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: A
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Amino acid precursors and their respective products
	**Related Topics**: Neurotransmission, Hormone synthesis, Biochemistry
	**Prerequisites**: Basic knowledge of amino acids and their role in biological processes, understanding of neurotransmitters and hormones.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	* The question asks about the products of Tryptophan synthesis.

**Method & Steps**:
	1. Recall the known biochemical pathways and the roles of different amino acids. 
		Reasoning: Tryptophan is a well-known precursor for serotonin and melatonin.
	2. Identify the correct option from the multiple choices.
		Result: The correct option is A.
## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] ✓: Melatonin and serotonin are synthesized from tryptophan. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter involved in mood regulation, and melatonin is a hormone involved in sleep-wake cycles.
[B] :x: Thyroxine and Triiodothyronine are thyroid hormones derived from tyrosine, not tryptophan.
[C] :x: Estrogen and Progesterone are steroid hormones, synthesized from cholesterol, not tryptophan.
[D] :x: Cortisol and Cortisone are steroid hormones produced from cholesterol, not tryptophan.
## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1.[Error 1]: Confusing amino acid precursors with different product pathways. [How to avoid]: Study the specific pathways of amino acids involved in neurotransmitter and hormone synthesis.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1.[Helpful shortcut]: Remember that tryptophan is associated with mood and sleep, which are related to serotonin and melatonin respectively.
