Explanation:

Brief Explanations
  • Question 4: Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose, which is the body's main source of energy. Proteins are for building muscle (not carbs). Fiber (a type of carb) can aid digestion, but the primary use is energy. There's no direct link for carbs enhancing memory.
  • Question 5: Bread and cereal are made from grains. Grains are rich in starches (a type of carbohydrate). While they may have some vitamins/minerals, proteins, or fats (in small amounts), the main component is carbohydrates.
  • Question 6: Proteins are made of amino acids, which are the building blocks of cells and tissues (like muscles, organs, etc.). Carbohydrates and fats are the main energy - providing macronutrients (not proteins as a primary source). Enzymes (which are proteins) can aid in digestion, but the primary use of protein is for building/maintaining cells/tissues. Vitamins are stored in fats (in the case of fat - soluble vitamins) or the body's tissues (for water - soluble vitamins, not related to protein's primary function).

Answer:

  1. Providing energy
  2. Carbohydrates
  3. Building and maintaining cells and tissues
