BECE Science 2026 Paper

Question : 21

Total: 40

Solution:

Concept:

Foods from animal sources generally contain more protein than most plant-based foods. We compare the protein content per

100 \text{ g}

of each food.

Explanation:

Cheese is a dairy product and a rich source of animal protein.

Hard cheeses like Cheddar provide about

25 \text{ g}

33 \text{ g}

of protein per

100 \text{ g}

By comparison, mushroom contains about

3 \text{ g}

of protein per

100 \text{ g}

Plantain provides only about

1.3 \text{ g}

of protein per

100 \text{ g}

Yam provides about

1.5 \text{ g}

of protein per

100 \text{ g}

Therefore, none of the plant-based options can match cheese in protein content.

Answer:

Option A (Cheese)
