Question

Not all macromolecules are created equal. Explain why you would get more energy from eating a cheeseburger than you would from eating an apple. Be sure to include specific macromolecules in your response.​

Answer 1

Answer: Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of energy. The fruit, vegetables, dairy, and grain food groups all contain carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates are the body’s main source of energy but Fats give you more energy. They help the body absorb certain vitamins. Many foods naturally contain fats, including dairy products; meats, poultry, seafood, and eggs; and seeds, nuts, avocados, and coconuts.

The burger would have more energy from eating it because it has a large amount proteins in it that can help your body. A apple can give you energy too because it is a carbohydrate but it wouldn’t be enough.
