Thus, the source of glucose is carbohydrates.
Hence, the statement which is not a function of fat is (c).
Conclusion:
The good source of glucose for the body is carbohydrates. It is not a function of fat. Lipid or fat protects the body from temperature changes and also acts as a protective cushion for the body.
