Explanation:

• Q5: Unsaturated fats are considered the healthiest as they can help reduce bad cholesterol levels. Saturated and trans fats are generally less healthy. Cholesterol is not a type of fat but a waxy substance.
• Q6: Complex carbohydrates are made up of long chains of sugar molecules. Sweet potatoes and pasta are examples. Coke, Skittles, Dr. Pepper, and Sweet Tarts contain simple sugars (from added sugars) and are not complex carbohydrates. Rice can be a complex carbohydrate (brown rice is better in terms of nutrients compared to white rice, but generally, whole - grain rice is a complex carb), but when paired with Coke (a simple sugar source), option a is more correct as both items are complex carbs.
• Q7: "Calories in calories out" refers to the balance between the calories consumed (from food and drink) and the calories burned (through physical activity, basal metabolic rate, etc.).
• Matching:
• Vitamin A is important for eye health.
• Vitamin C is important for the immune system and is an antioxidant.
• Vitamin D is needed to absorb calcium and is beneficial for bones.
• Calcium is the main component of bone and makes bones strong.
