Question

Which statements apply to "food"?

A) storage medium for energy
B) absorb energy during assimilation
C) release energy during decomposition
D) energy released during photosynthesis

Answer 1

The correct answer would be A) storage medium for energy.

Food is anything an organism consumes to fulfill its nutritional requirement.

Food is broken down or digested into simpler elements which are then used to provide energy required to maintain life and growth of the organism.

Food contains macro and micro nutrients. The main macro-nutrients are carbohydrates, fats, and proteins while vitamins, minerals, and electrolytes come under the category of micro-nutrients.

Carbohydrates are the preferred source of energy however, fats and proteins (least preferred source) can also provide energy when enough glucose is not present in the body.

Answer 2

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. Food is a storage for energy. It is a fuel for the body to do its day to day processes and activities. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
