Default Protected Excel Worksheet

I have an Excel worksheet that contains questions, the cells with the
questions have been protected to prevent users from changing the
questions. The users are to type the answer in the cell beside the
question (I.E. question in protected cell A1 answer goes in
unprotected cell A2). However, if a user copies the answer from
another document and pastes the answer into cell A2 the information is
then protected and does allow them to change the answer that was
pasted into cell A2. Can someone explain why this is happening?
