The answer to the first question is carbohydrates: macronutrients made of sugars and starches and yield 4 calories per gram.

The answer to the second question is proteins: macronutrients made of amino acids and yield 4 calories per gram.

The answer to the third question is fats: macronutrients that provide twice as much energy, yielding 9 calories per gram.

Explanation:

  1. Carbohydrates are composed of sugars and starches. They are a primary source of energy for the body and provide 4 calories per gram.

  2. Proteins are made up of amino acids, which are the building blocks of the body's tissues. Like carbohydrates, proteins also provide 4 calories per gram.

  3. Fats are a more concentrated source of energy compared to carbohydrates and proteins, providing 9 calories per gram. They are essential for various bodily functions, including hormone production and nutrient absorption.
