Question

triglycerides are the bodys most efficient method for storing energy. in fact, a gram of fat supplies more than double the amount of energy a gram of carbohydrate or protein supplies! energy from stored fats is slowly released to cells between meals. fats fuel processes like breathing and long, slow activities like hiking.

in addition to providing energy, triglycerides help dissolve nonpolar vitamins a, d, e, and k. stored body fat also cushions bones and organs, and it provides insulation to retain body heat.

select the true statements.

one gram of carbohydrate provides less than half the amount of energy in one gram of fat.

fats are less energy - dense than carbohydrates.

fats provide energy for the body during rest.

fat - soluble vitamins are dissolved by triglycerides.

Explanation:

1. For "One gram of carbohydrate provides less than half the amount of energy in one gram of fat": The text says a gram of fat supplies more than double the energy of a gram of carbohydrate/protein, so carbohydrate energy is less than half of fat's, this is true.
2. For "Fats are less energy - dense than carbohydrates": The text shows fat has more than double the energy of carbohydrate per gram, so fat is more energy - dense, this statement is false (but in the given options with checks, maybe a mis - check, but we analyze based on text).
3. For "Fats provide energy for the body during rest": The text says fats fuel processes like breathing (a resting process) and long, slow activities, so this is true.
4. For "Fat - soluble vitamins are dissolved by triglycerides": The text says triglycerides help dissolve nonpolar vitamins A, D, E, K (fat - soluble vitamins), so this is true.

After correcting the mis - check (the second statement is false), the true statements are:

• One gram of carbohydrate provides less than half the amount of energy in one gram of fat.
• Fats provide energy for the body during rest.
• Fat - soluble vitamins are dissolved by triglycerides.

Answer:

• One gram of carbohydrate provides less than half the amount of energy in one gram of fat.
• Fats provide energy for the body during rest.
• Fat - soluble vitamins are dissolved by triglycerides.
