Question

based on the biochemistry tests, alices cabbage salad lacks some important macromolecules. what should alice add to her salad to provide the missing macromolecules she needs?
a) oil and rice bran
b) maple syrup and bread
c) egg and avocado
d) fries and doughnuts

Explanation:

Macromolecules in diet include carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. Cabbage is rich in vitamins, fiber (a carbohydrate), but may lack sufficient proteins and healthy fats.

• Option a: Oil provides lipids, rice bran has fiber/carbs but little protein.
• Option b: Maple syrup (sugar, carb) and bread (carb) – lacks protein/fat.
• Option c: Egg is a great source of protein, avocado provides healthy lipids (fats) – this covers protein and fat, which are likely missing if cabbage is the main component.
• Option d: Fries (carb, fat) and doughnuts (carb, fat) – lack protein.

So egg (protein) and avocado (lipid) are suitable to add missing macromolecules.

Answer:

c) Egg and avocado
