Answer 1

Answer:

D) 1. The different types of nutrients are as follows:

1) Carbohydrates

2) Protiens

3) Fats

4) Vitamins and Minerals

Carbohydrates: We get them from foodstuffs like bread and chapatis.

Protiens : They are present in pulses and lentils

Fats : We obtain them from oil, butter and ghee

Vitamins and Minerals: They are obtained from fruits and vegetables.

2. In the process of digestion, this roughage or fibre has a special function. Fibrous substances help the food to move forward in the alimentary canal at the right speed. The undigested food is converted into stool with the help of this roughage.
