Solution
Egg is a source of protein.
Explanation:
Proteins are essential nutrients for the human body, playing a crucial role in building and repairing tissues, producing enzymes and hormones and supporting overall growth and development. Eggs are considered a complete protein source because they contain all nine essential amino acids that the body cannot produce on its own. Therefore, consuming eggs helps in maintaining muscle mass, supporting immune function and promoting overall health.
