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. fats provide energy for the body during rest. fats are less energy - dense than carbohydrates. one gram of carbohydrate provides less than half the amount of energy in one gram of fat. fat - soluble vitamins are dissolved by triglycerides.

Explanation:

• "Fats provide energy for the body during rest": The text states energy from stored fats is slowly released to cells between meals and fuels processes like breathing during rest - this is true.
• "Fats are less energy - dense than carbohydrates": The text says a gram of fat supplies more than double the amount of energy a gram of carbohydrate supplies, so this is false.
• "One gram of carbohydrate provides less than half the amount of energy in one gram of fat": As per the text, a gram of fat supplies more than double the energy of a gram of carbohydrate, so this is true.
• "Fat - soluble vitamins are dissolved by triglycerides": The text mentions triglycerides help dissolve nonpolar (fat - soluble) vitamins A, D, E, and K, so this is true.

Answer:

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