The table compares the proportions of seven essential amino acids in normal maize and Quality Protein Maize (QPM). Which amino acids are found in significantly higher proportions in the QPM seeds?

To answer this question, we need to compare the values for each amino acid in the "Normal maize" and "Quality protein maize (QPM)" columns. We are looking for the amino acids with significantly higher values in QPM. - **Leucine:** 122.2 -> 88.1 (Decrease) - **Lysine:** 28.9 -> 41.9 (Significant Increase) - **Methionine:** 19.9 -> 18.1 (Decrease) - **Phenylalanine:** 49.4 -> 40.9 (Decrease) - **Threonine:** 34.5 -> 36.5 (Slight Increase) - **Tryptophan:** 7.3 -> 16.3 (Significant Increase - more than doubled) - **Valine:** 45.9 -> 51.2 (Slight Increase) The two amino acids with the most significant increases are Lysine and Tryptophan.
