Question

which of these nutrients helps the body absorb vitamins and sustain the immune system?
○ proteins
○ carbohydrates
○ fats
○ minerals

Explanation:

Fats (lipids) are essential for the absorption of fat - soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) as these vitamins need to be dissolved in fat to be absorbed by the body. Additionally, fats play a role in supporting the immune system, for example, by being part of cell membranes and contributing to immune cell function. Proteins are mainly for growth, repair, and enzyme/hormone production. Carbohydrates are the main energy source. Minerals have various functions like bone health or nerve function but not primarily vitamin absorption and immune support in the way fats do.

Answer:

fats
