why might a 100-calorie serving of celery provide less energy than 100-calorie potato chips?
celery contains more water
celery has fewer nutrients
potato chips are more processed
celery requires more energy to digest

Explanation:

• First question: When calorie intake exceeds expenditure, the body stores excess energy as fat (basic principle of energy balance in the body).
• Second question: Approximately 10% of calories are used for digestion (common knowledge in nutrition about thermic effect of food).
• Third question: Celery requires more energy to digest (thermic effect concept: foods with higher fiber etc. may need more energy for digestion compared to processed high - fat/sugar foods like potato chips).

Answer:

• First question: Excess energy will be stored as fat
• Second question: 10%
• Third question: Celery requires more energy to digest
