Answer 2

The correct answer is Macro nutrients.

Carbohydrate, proteins and lipids are example of macro nutrients because of their large size. They are the most important components of the food that we take to keep our body healthy. They are called macro nutrients because they are larges in size and are required in large amount.

The correct answer is Fiber.

Fiber has no nutritive value of its own, it helps in absorption of nutrients in the body. Fiber helps in absorption of water in the body. All the other components such as vitamin c, starch and folate have their own nutritive value.
