Answer to Question 1

A
Many lipids are used in the body to form hormones and lipids provide a protective layer of pad-ding around body organs. Dietary fiber does not leave the gastrointestinal tract. Protein is an im-portant part of many body structures but does not necessarily protect body organs; proteins may act as carriers for hormones, but are not used to make the hormones themselves. Carbohydrates are a source of energy and have no real role in body structure or hormonal regulation.

Answer to Question 2

C
