Explanation:

1. For question 4: Macronutrients are nutrients required in large amounts, which include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Minerals are micronutrients, needed in small quantities.
2. For question 5: Macronutrients supply energy, which is measured in calories. Plasma is a blood component, cholesterol is a lipid, and "no nourishment" is incorrect as macronutrients nourish the body.
3. For question 6: Plasma is the liquid portion of blood, not a nutrient found in food. Proteins, carbohydrates, and vitamins are all nutrients from food.
4. For question 7: The body uses nutrients for energy, growth, repair, and basic functions. Retaining cholesterol is not a purpose of nutrient use; excess cholesterol can be harmful, and the body regulates it rather than using nutrients to retain it.
