Question

The amount of protein per 100 g (for approximately two eggs) of egg is :
A.11.9
B.13
C.16
D.45

Answer 1

Hint: Egg is the good source of proteins and amino acids. 6.28 g of protein is found in one large egg, out of which 3.6 g are found in the egg white.

Complete answer:
Protein is one of the important constituents for the body. It is required in growth of body, development of organs, and repair. It is also additionally required to make hormones, enzymes, and antibodies in the human body. Egg is also known as a nutritionally complete source of proteins with a great balance of essential amino acids. Although the egg proteins are present in all parts of the eggs, the major concentration lies in the egg white (50%) and egg yolk (40%).
 Since one egg contains 6.28g of proteins the two eggs will contain around 13-14gm of proteins.

An egg is one of the richest sources for the proteins as it contains all nine types of essential amino acids in it. An egg is the equivalent source of proteins as from mother's milk for human nutrition. An essential amino acid is important for the body as these amino acids cannot be synthesized by the body and one must get them from the foods you eat.

Hence, the correct answer is option (B)

Note: The nutritional value of an egg is divided between the egg white and the egg yolk. The white part of the egg contains protein in the form of essential amino acids whereas the yolk contains all of the fat in the egg.
