Answer 1

The correct statement is that proteins and carbohydrates have the same amount of energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The 90 percent of the dry weight of the diet and 100 percent of its energy is supplied by proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. All these macronutrients provide energy to the body, however, the amount of energy in one gram varies, that is, 9 calories in a gram of fat, and 4 calories in a gram of protein or carbohydrate.

These nutrients also vary in the rate by which they supply energy. Of the nutrients, fats are the slowest and carbohydrates are the quickest.
