Question

What is the reason fats provide more energy per gram than carbohydrates?

* Long carbon chain

* Insolubility in water

* Double bonds

*Linear structure​

Answer 1

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.
