Answer 1

Answer: apple- carb; steak- protein; celery- carb; olive oil- lipid; potato- carb; avocado- lipid; egg- protein

Explanation:

Fruit and veggies are mainly made of carbohydrates because that is the storage and structural components they use (think glucose, cellulose, starch, etc.); Steak is a meat, and meat is technically muscle- muscle is built from protein; Olive oil and avocado are lipids because they are considered fats; Egg is protein because it is an animal by-product, and contains many amino acids, which build up proteins.
