Answer:
Fats provide nearly twice the amount of energy that is provided by the same quantity of
carbohydrates.
Fats release energy at a much slower rate than carbohydrates. Our body stores excess food in the
form of fat for long-term use.
Hence, even though carbohydrates and fats both provide energy to our body, fats are di erent from
carbohydrates.

meals.

Answer:
Eating only rice in all meals, the body will obtain only carbohydrates and no other nutrients such as
proteins and fats.

thenutrients in the required quantities, along with water and roughage. Such a diet is called a
balanced diet.

 13) Look at the leaf venation of the two plants shown below.

What type of venation and roots do plants P and Q each have? Give a reason for your answer.
Answer:
Plant P has veins that are all in straight lines, parallel to each other hence they have parallel
venation.
Plant Q has veins that are net-like and present on both sides of the midrib hence they have
reticulate venation.
Plants with parallel venation in leaves have a brous root system and plants with reticulate
venation in leaves have a taproot system.
Hence, plant P is likely to have a brous root system and plant Q is likely to have a tap root system.
