Answer 1

The correct answer is b. The fat in your meal will contribute to satiety, the feeling of fullness after a meal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Intake of more fat in the diet decrease the hunger by contributing to satiety. The satiety signals are released by the entry of fatty acids from stomach into the small intestine. Therefore in small intestine fat evokes the satiety signals.

So high-fat content food produces strong signals of satiety than less fat content food when they enter the intestine that decreases the release of the hunger hormone which is responsible for stimulation of intaking of food.

The extra amount of fat is stored in the body to provide energy in the absence of glucose or glycogen in the body. So the right answer is b.
