Answer 1

Answer:

mark me brainliest

Explanation:

Fats are the slowest source of energy but the most energy-efficient form of food. Each gram of fat supplies the body with about 9 calories, more than twice that supplied by proteins or carbohydrates. Because fats are such an efficient form of energy, the body stores any excess energy as fat.

Why does fat give more energy than carbohydrates?

Your body likes to get energy from fats rather than, for example carbohydrates, because the energy content of fats is high, because fats are mostly hydrocarbons, just C-C and C-H bonds.
