Answer 1

Ans) 1. B. 30%

Explaination:

A standard low-fat diet contains about 30% of calories from fat, or less. Here are a few examples of suggested daily fat ranges for a low-fat diet, based on different calorie goals: 1,500 calories: About 50 grams of fat per day. 2,000 calories: About 67 grams of fat per day.

2. C. Folate, 400 mcg, neural tube defects

Explaination:

- All pregnant women should take at least 400 micrograms (mcg) of folic acid to prevent neural tube defects.

5. B. Protein, calcium

Explaination:

Iron is an essential part of the proteins that transport oxygen in the body. Hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells, accounts for about two-thirds of the body's iron supply. The more iron that is absorbed from the diet, the higher the level of stored iron.

6. B. Glycemic index

Explaination:

- The Glycemic Index (GI) is a relative ranking of carbohydrate in foods according to how they affect blood glucose levels. Carbohydrates with a low GI value (55 or less) are more slowly digested, absorbed and metabolised and cause a lower and slower rise in blood glucose and, therefore usually, insulin levels
