Maximum amount of energy/ATP is liberated on oxidation of

1. fats
2. proteins
3. starch
4. vitamins

Correct answer: fats

Solution

Fats are the most energy-rich biomolecules because they contain many C–H bonds and are highly reduced, so their complete oxidation releases more energy than carbohydrates or proteins. Vitamins do not serve as major energy sources.
