Answer to Question 1

C
Plants synthesize carbohydrate via photosynthesis. Fat and protein are produced by other meta-bolic processes in the plants. Living plants do not usually produce alcohol, although stored fruit or grain may ferment and produce some alcohol.

Answer to Question 2

4
Rationale: The Nutrition Facts label included information about saturated, monounsaturated, and trans fats. It is important to plan a diet that limits intake of saturated and trans fats and one that includes monounsaturated fats. The label does not inform the consumer about the portion of fats that should be consumed daily. Each fat has a different role, but that information is not on the label. It is not necessary to consume some of each kind of fat on a daily basis; it is important to limit saturated and trans fats.
