Answer to Problem 1SC
Solution: The correct answer is option (d).
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct answer:
Proteins are very important for building a healthy body. Proteins from animals, say, in the form of meat, contain almost every amino acid required by humans. On the other hand, plant proteins are unable to provide some essential amino acids in the diet. A few foods rich in protein are legumes with beans, eggs, cheese, peanut butter, and fish.
Therefore, honey has a verylittle amount of protein.
Hence, option (d) is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect answer:
Option (a) is incorrect because it is a rich source of protein.
Option (b) is incorrect because it contains a high amount of protein.
Option (c) is incorrect because it hashigh protein content.
Hence, options (a), (b) and (c) are incorrect.
