- B.
  
  Fat
- C.

  Option 4
Correct Answer
B. Fat

Explanation
Fat is the nutrient that gives more energy when compared to carbohydrates. While carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram, fats provide 9 calories per gram. This is because fats are more concentrated in energy and require more metabolic processes to be broken down and utilized by the body. Therefore, consuming foods high in fat can provide a greater amount of energy compared to foods high in carbohydrates.

Vitamin B is the correct answer because it is a water-soluble vitamin.

Vitamin D, Vitamin A, and Vitamin E are all fat-soluble vitamins, meaning they are absorbed and stored in fat cells in the body.

Tomatoes are classified as fruit because they develop from the ovary of a flower and contain seeds.

Unsaturated fats are usually ---------- at room temperature.
- A.
  
  Liquid
- B.
  
  Solid
Correct Answer
A. Liquid

Explanation
Unsaturated fats are usually liquid at room temperature because they have double bonds in their carbon chains. These double bonds introduce kinks in the structure of the fat molecules, preventing them from packing tightly together. As a result, unsaturated fats have a lower melting point and remain in a liquid state at room temperature. In contrast, saturated fats lack double bonds and have a straighter structure, allowing them to pack tightly and solidify at room temperature.
