Match the following columns. Column I Column II A. Salad 1. Protein B. Butter 2. Carbohydrates C. Meat/Dal 3. Fat D. Chapati 4. Vitamins and Minerals

A- 4 Salad provides vitamins and minerals. Vitamins are essential for the proper working of the body but do not provide energy. Minerals are required for proper functioning, normal growth and good health. B- 3 Butter is a rich source of fat. Fats provide twice as much energy as provided by the same amount of carbohydrates. C- 1 Meat and dal is a rich source of protein. Proteins mainly used as the building blocks in our body. Proteins form about 15% of our protoplasmic portion and about 75% of dried body weight. D- 2 Chapati provides us with carbohydrates. Carbohydrates store energy in the form of starch in plants whereas in animals these are stored as glycogen. Column I Column II A. Salad 4.

Match the following columns. Column I Column II A. Marasmus 1. Protein B. Vitamin-C 2. Carbohydrate C. Kwashiorkor 3. Scurvy D. Pernicious anaemia 4. Vitamin-B12

A- 2 Marasmus can occur in anyone who has severe malnutrition, but it usually occurs in children. It occurs in children that do not ingest enough calories, carbohydrates and other important nutrients. B- 3 Vitamin C is present in citrus fruit. Lack of Vitamin-C causes deficiency disease called scurvy. It leads to bleeding of gums. C- 1 Kwashiorkor is a form of malnutrition caused by lack of protein in the diet. Its symptoms are fatigue, diarrhoea, loss of weight, etc. D- 4 Liver and kidney are the richest sources of Vitamin-B12. Lack of Vitamin-B12 causes pernicious anaemia. Column I Column II A.
