a. True
b. False

Answer 1

True.

Vitamins and minerals DO contribute to daily energy intake, but through performing functions like converting proteins or carbs to energy. So, it's not a direct contribution, which makes me think this is true. However, they DON'T contribute to daily calorie intake.

Hope this helps!
