Anna's autopsy found her morning diet contained which of the following?

• A. Glucose
• B. Proteins
• C. Glucose, carbohydrates, lipids/fats, NO PROTEINS
• D. Minerals

Answer: (C)

This question tests what types of nutrients you’d expect to find in the contents of a morning meal and how digestion shows those nutrients. A typical breakfast supplies carbohydrates and fats, and might include a simple sugar like glucose. If the autopsy findings show glucose, carbohydrates, and lipids/fats but no proteins, that indicates the sample contains those macronutrients from the meal, with no detectable protein remnants at that moment. Glucose signals simple sugars; carbohydrates cover the broader sugar/starch content; fats reflect lipid components. Proteins could be absent either because the meal didn’t contain protein or because proteins have already been digested into amino acids and absorbed, leaving no intact protein in the sampled contents. Minerals are inorganic and wouldn’t account for the presence of glucose and fats in the same way, so they’re not the focus here. In this scenario, the described combination best fits what would be found in a morning meal.
