1. Answer: B
Rationale: All of these are good sources of protein, but beef and other
meats are really protein-packed. Meat is also high in saturated
fat, which can lead to high cholesterol and heart disease. If you
choose red meats for protein, stick with the leanest cuts and be
smart with portion sizes. To reduce your risk of cancer, the
American Institute of Cancer Research recommends limiting red
meat to 18 ounces a week and skipping processed meats like
bacon, sausage, and lunchmeat.
2. Answer: D
Rationale: Protein is an important part of every cell in your body. It has many
jobs including giving you energy, repairing your bones and
muscles, building cells, and helping with your immune system.
3. Answer: C
Rationale: Complete, or high-quality proteins, are packed with specific amino
acids. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
There are about 20 different ones. Your body needs them all but
can only make some. The rest have to come from your diet.
Those are known as "essential" amino acids. Complete proteins,
like eggs, cheese, meat, soy, and quinoa, have all nine essential
amino acids.
4. Answer: D
Rationale: Protein comes in all kinds of interesting foods. You can find it in
meat, of course. But you can also get protein from nuts and
seeds, beans and peas, and eggs.
5. Answer: D
Rationale: Most people don't need to worry about eating enough protein. But
strict vegetarians, vegans, and older people should know the signs of too little
protein. These include recent weight loss, tired
muscles, and a drop in your muscle strength.
6. Answer: A
Rationale: Transport proteins are proteins that transport substances across
biological membranes. Transport proteins are found within the
membrane itself, where they form a channel, or a carrying
mechanism, to allow their substrate to pass from one side to the
other. The substances transported by these proteins can include
ions such as sodium and potassium; sugars such as glucose;
proteins and messenger molecules; and many more.
7. Answer C
Rationale: Structural proteins are the proteins that are generally fibrous and
stringy. They are the most abundant class of proteins in
nature. Their main function is to provide mechanical support.
Examples of structural proteins can be keratin, collagen, and
elastin.

9. Answer: B
Rationale: An amylase is an enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of starch
(Latin amylum) into sugars. Amylase is present in the saliva of
humans and some other mammals, where it begins the chemical
process of digestion.
10. Answer: B
Rationale: Signs You're Not Getting Enough Protein: Swelling, mood
changes, Hair, Nail, and Skin Problems, Weakness and Fatigue,
Hunger, Slow-Heaing Injuries
