  1. Question 1

    Q1. A migrating bird relies on stored biological molecules for long-distance flight. Which molecule provides the maximum energy per unit weight?

    • A) Acylglycerols
    • B) Polysaccharides
    • C) Proteins
    • D) Nucleic acids

    Answer: Acylglycerols

    Explanation: Acylglycerols (fats) provide the highest energy yield per gram because of their high C-H bond density. Carbohydrates provide less than half that energy.
