BECE Science 2026 Paper

Concept:Foods from animal sources generally contain more protein than most plant-based foods. We compare the protein content per $100\,g$ of each food.Explanation:Cheese is a dairy product and a rich source of animal protein. Hard cheeses like Cheddar provide about $25\,g$ to $33\,g$ of protein per $100\,g$. By comparison, mushroom contains about $3\,g$ of protein per $100\,g$. Plantain provides only about $1.3\,g$ of protein per $100\,g$. Yam provides about $1.5\,g$ of protein per $100\,g$. Therefore, none of the plant-based options can match cheese in protein content.Answer:A. Cheese
