    Valine is a hydrophobic amino acid used for biosynthesis of proteins. It is essential in humans, meaning the body cannot synthesize it and it must be obtained from the diet.

    Glutamic is a hydrophilic amino acid used by almost all living beings in the biosynthesis of proteins. It is non-essential in humans and the body can synthesize it.
