Question

The four organic molecules are listed below. Which ones do you get from the foods you eat? Check all that apply.

Answer 1

Answer:

Carbohydrate, proteins, and lipids

Explanation:

The organic molecules that can be derived from eating foods are carbohydrate, proteins, and lipids.

Carbohydrates are general derived from starchy foods such as grains, proteins are derived from eating of foods that are rich in proteins such as meat, milk, etc, while lipids are derived from eating fat/oil-based foods such as butter, avocados, etc.

Nucleic acids are not derived directly from foods. They are monomers of proteins and hence, they are only derived from breaking down proteins.
