1) What are the four biomolecules?

a. proteins
b. liquids
c. Nucleic acids
d. carbohydrates

2) Observe the food labels for 8 different foods

that you would eat.
3) Record in the data table below the name of the
food and the total amount in grams of fat
(lipids), proteins, and carbohydrates.

8) proteins
9) Carbohydrates, as seen in the graph above,
have a higher blood sugar level than the other
dietary types.

10) Blood sugar is used for energy. Sugar that

isn't immediately needed to nourish your body is
stored in cells for later use. You can control the
outcome if you understand how specific meals
impact your blood sugar. Most importantly, you
can more easily keep your blood sugar within the
right range so that you can feel your best.

11) Proteins supply higher blood sugar than lipids

(fats).

12) protein

I claim that Chicken Adobo would be ideal

lunch/brunch for school. The evidence to support
my claim is that food has 21 numbers of grams of
proteins and has 1 number of grams of
carbohydrates.

The reason why I chose the food is that

Chicken Adobo is a great food to eat while dieting
as it contains a large amount of protein with fats
and carbs making up a small portion of its
calories. This allows for more flexibility in your
diet which translates to better results and
tremendous health benefits.
