Answer 2

Taurine (from taurus = bull, as it was discovered in ox (Bos taurus) bile) or 2-aminoethanesulfonic acid is an acidic chemical substance found in high abundance in the tissues of many animals (metazoa), especially sea animals. Taurine is also found in plants, fungi, and some bacterial species, but in far less abundance. It is an amine with a sulfonic acid functional group, but it is not an amino acid in the biological sense, not being one of the twenty protein-forming compounds encoded by the universal genetic code. Small polypeptides have been identified as containing taurine, but to date there has been no report of a transfer RNA that is specifically charged with taurine.

In recent years, taurine has become a common ingredient in energy drinks such as Battery, Monster, Red Bull, Irn Bru 32, Mountain Dew AMP, Rip It, XS Energy Drink, Full Throttle, and Boo Koo. It is also abundant in most forms of cat food. Taurine is also often used in combination with bodybuilding supplements such as creatine and anabolic steroids, but there is no evidence to suggest that it has any sort of positive muscle growth effect.

Answer 3

ADJECTIVE:
Of, relating to, or resembling a bull.

NOUN:
A colorless crystalline substance, C2H7NO3S, formed by the hydrolysis of taurocholic acid and found in the fluids of the muscles and lungs of many animals.

2) it's in energy drinks
3) it gives you (and I guess the cat) energy!
