Which of the following is NOT considered a food group?

  1. Proteins

  2. Vitamins

  3. Pheromones

  4. Minerals

The correct answer is: Pheromones

The correct choice is based on the classification of food groups. Proteins, vitamins, and minerals are all essential components of a balanced diet, categorized into recognized food groups. Proteins are vital macronutrients necessary for growth, repair, and overall health; vitamins are organic compounds crucial for various bodily functions; and minerals are inorganic nutrients playing key roles in bodily processes. Pheromones, however, do not belong to the food group classification. They are chemicals secreted by animals that influence the behavior of other members of the same species, typically in the context of communication or reproductive signaling. While they may play roles in biological systems, they are not nutrients or food groups necessary for human consumption or dietary categorization.
