Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which biomolecule is found in pastas and breads?
A
Lipid
B
Protein
C
Nucleic Acid
D
Carbohydrate
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates are made of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. Another name for a carbohydrate biomolecule is saccharide. Carbohydrates are diverse and plentiful biomolecules involved in many important functions in cells. Foods such as pasta, potatoes, corn, rice, and wheat are rich carbohydrates in human diets.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer: In pasta and bread can found the Carbohydrates – sugars, starches (flour), grains. Carbohydrates can be found in almost all food sources. Rice, cereal, potatoes, fruits, pasta, vegetables, etc. have some kind of carbohydrate in them.

Detailed explanation-3: -Fortunately, the yeast used in bread-making contains the enzyme maltase, which breaks maltose into glucose. When the yeast cell encounters a maltose molecule, it absorbs it. Maltase then bonds to the maltose and breaks it in two.

Detailed explanation-4: -Both white bread and pasta contain significant amounts of thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, Vitamin B6 and folate.

Detailed explanation-5: -Carbohydrates are covalently attached to many different biomolecules, including lipids, to form glycolipids, and proteins, to form glycoproteins. Glycoproteins and glycolipids are often found in biological membranes that allow other biomolecules to interact and bind to the protein.
