My balanced dinner plate: brown rice (carbohydrates), grilled chicken (protein), avocado slices (lipids/fats), and a spinach salad (nucleic acids).
Brown rice — which biomolecule it is:
- Brown rice is full of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are biomolecules that give your body quick energy.
Brown rice — how it helps your body:
- When you eat rice, your body breaks the carbohydrates into sugar that your cells use for fuel. This helps you have energy to play, think, and do homework.
Grilled chicken — which biomolecule it is:
- Grilled chicken is mostly protein. Proteins are biomolecules made of building blocks called amino acids that make up body parts.
Grilled chicken — how it helps your body:
- Proteins help your muscles grow and repair when they get tired or hurt. Your body also uses proteins to make enzymes and antibodies that help you stay healthy.
Avocado slices — which biomolecule it is:
- Avocado has lots of healthy fats, which are called lipids. Lipids are biomolecules that store energy and help build cell membranes.
Avocado slices — how it helps your body:
- Fats give you long-lasting energy and help your brain and nerves work well. Fats also help your body absorb certain vitamins that need fat to be used.
Spinach salad — which biomolecule it is:
- Spinach, like all living foods, contains nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) inside its cells. Nucleic acids are biomolecules that carry the instructions for how cells grow and work.
Spinach salad — how it helps your body:
- When you eat spinach, your body breaks the nucleic acids into parts it can reuse to help make new DNA and RNA for growing and fixing cells. This helps your body copy instructions so your cells can work the right way.
