○ true
○ false

1. fruits and vegetables are excellent sources of fat - soluble vitamins.

○ true
○ false

1. cooking destroys water - soluble vitamins.

○ true
○ false

Explanation:

Question 5

Vitamins do not provide energy. Energy is mainly from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Vitamins are essential for various metabolic processes but don't supply energy.

Fruits and vegetables are good sources of water - soluble vitamins (like vitamin C, B - vitamins). Fat - soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) are more commonly found in fatty foods, animal products, or fortified foods. So fruits and vegetables are not excellent sources of fat - soluble vitamins.

Water - soluble vitamins (e.g., vitamin C, B - complex vitamins) are sensitive to heat. Cooking, especially with water (like boiling), can leach out or destroy these vitamins due to their solubility in water and heat - sensitivity.

Answer:

False
