Answer 1

Hint: A unit of energy is a calorie. Calories in diet refer to the calories that individuals receive from the food and drink they eat, and the energy they use in physical activity. In the nutritional information on all food packages, calories are specified.

Complete answer:
The amount of heat produced to increase the temperature of one gramme of water by one degree Celsius is a calorie. In the form of heat, calories in food provide energy so that our bodies can work. As energy, our bodies store calories and heat them.. Many individuals who strive to attain or maintain a healthy weight will count calories and try to reduce their caloric intake.

Calories in food provide vital energy, so you can gain weight if you eat too many calories. Calories in excess are retained as body fat. To remain healthy, your body requires some stored fat. It's important that you understand your caloric needs, but too much fat can cause health problems. In order to perform basic metabolic functions and everyday physical activities, that is the number of calories your body requires.

Carbohydrates give 4.0Kcal/g, proteins give 4.0Kcal/g and fats give 9.0Kcal/g. Physiological calories obtained from various food substances are
So
 5g sugar energy = 5 x 4Kcal = 20Kcal
4g albumin energy = 4 x 4Kcal = 16Kcal
10g+2g fat energy = 12 x 9Kcal = 108Kcal

Because of the lack of digestive enzymes for lignin, lignin will not be digested by humans, so no calories can be obtained from them. Ruminants have the capacity to absorb lignin.

Adding all we get 144kcal.

Hence, the correct answer is option (D)

Note: The food we ingest becomes the fuel that drives our bodies. To develop strong bones and muscles, healthy food provides calories (energy) and essential nutrients. Often, beverages contain calories. Not all calories, however, are safe. For instance, sodas are sometimes referred to as "empty calories." That means they provide calories but have no other nutritional value.
