Question

triglycerides are the bodys most efficient method for storing energy. in fact, a gram supplies more than double the amount of energy a gram of carbohydrate or protein s energy from stored fats is slowly released to cells between meals. fats fuel processes breathing and long, slow activities like hiking. in addition to providing energy, triglycerides help dissolve nonpolar vitamins a, d, e, a stored body fat also cushions bones and organs, and it provides insulation to retain bo heat. select the true statements. fat - soluble vitamins are dissolved by triglycerides. 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.

Explanation:

1. For "Fat - soluble vitamins are dissolved by triglycerides": The text says "triglycerides help dissolve nonpolar vitamins A, D, E" (fat - soluble vitamins are nonpolar and include A, D, E), so this is true.
2. For "One gram of carbohydrate provides less than half the amount of energy in one gram of fat": The text states "a gram [of fat] supplies more than double the amount of energy a gram of carbohydrate...", so 1g of carbohydrate has less than half the energy of 1g of fat, this is true.
3. For "Fats provide energy for the body during rest": The text says "Energy from stored fats is slowly released to cells between meals" and "Fats fuel processes like breathing" (breathing occurs during rest), so this is true.
4. For "Fats are less energy - dense than carbohydrates": Since fat has more than double the energy of carbohydrate per gram, fat is more energy - dense, so this statement is false.

Answer:

• Fat - soluble vitamins are dissolved by triglycerides.
• 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.
