    What is a carbohydrate?

    • Unsaturated fat and saturated fat

    • Sweet and sour

    • Sugar and starch

    • When you feel like you need water

    Correct Answer
    A. Sugar and starch
    Explanation
    A carbohydrate is a type of nutrient that provides energy to the body. It is composed of sugar and starch. Sugar is a simple carbohydrate that is quickly broken down by the body for immediate energy, while starch is a complex carbohydrate that takes longer to break down and provides sustained energy. Carbohydrates are found in various foods such as fruits, vegetables, grains, and legumes. They are an essential part of a balanced diet and should be consumed in moderation.

    How can you tell there was energy in the marshmallow?

    • When you eat it you get silly

    • When it burned it fizzed and turned black

    • It was soft after it burned

    Correct Answer
    A. When it burned it fizzed and turned black
    Explanation
    When the marshmallow burned, it fizzed and turned black. This reaction indicates that there was energy present in the marshmallow. The fizzing and blackening suggest a chemical reaction, which typically occurs when energy is released. Therefore, the observation of the marshmallow burning and fizzing indicates the presence of energy.

    Why did we use the brown paper bag test?

    • To test for starch

    • To test for fat

    • To test for protein

    • To test for sugar

    Correct Answer
    A. To test for fat
    Explanation
    The brown paper bag test was used to test for fat because fat leaves a translucent mark on brown paper. When a food item containing fat is placed on a brown paper bag and left for some time, the fat from the food will seep through the bag, leaving a visible grease mark. This test was commonly used in the past to determine the fat content in food before more sophisticated methods were available.
