Answer 1

Fats are a macronutrient and not a micronutrient. They are used in the synthesis of steroids and hormones.

Answer 2

The right answer is fats

Macronutrients. With water, they make up about 98% of the diet. Macronutrients provide calories, ie energy (a calorie is a unit of measurement established by estimating the heat released by the oxidation of the food in the body); they also play several other roles.

There are 3 macronutrients: carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins.
