Respuesta :

Answer:

D. Quality

Explanation:

Protein quality is a measure of how good the protein in food is at providing the essential amino acids the body needs.

Protein quality refers to determining if the total quantity of essential (not produced by the body) amino acids taken (through food, drinks, supplements) is sufficient to provide the proteins that humans need to remain healthy and, for example, for the development and growth of children and adolescents.

To estimate protein quality, the most common tests are biological assays and chemical analysis. If a person is getting the sufficient protein quality through their diet, that is, the appropriate essential amino acid quantity, then he/she should make a change in their diet.
