Question

1. 10. complete protein sources? (1 point) * a. increase cholesterol levels b. are stored in the body as fat c. supply more energy than incomplete proteins d. supply all essential amino acids

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option a: Complete protein sources (like lean meats, dairy) don't inherently increase cholesterol; some high - fat animal - based proteins might, but it's not a defining feature of complete proteins.
• Option b: Proteins are not primarily stored as fat; excess calories from any macronutrient (including protein) can be stored as fat, but this is not a characteristic of complete proteins.
• Option c: All proteins provide 4 calories per gram, so complete and incomplete proteins supply the same amount of energy per gram.
• Option d: By definition, complete protein sources contain all the essential amino acids in adequate amounts that the body needs.

Answer:

d. supply all essential amino acids
