Final answer:

The skeletal system does not digest food for energy.

Step-by-step explanation:

The skeletal system has several functions, including support, movement, and protection of internal organs. However, one function that is NOT performed by the skeletal system is digestion of food to provide energy. The digestive system, specifically the stomach and intestines, is responsible for breaking down food and extracting energy from it.
