Fiber is ________ complex carbohydrate that contains __ Calories per gram.

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about the nature of fiber as a carbohydrate and its caloric content per gram.
Option A: 'a digestible, 0' suggests fiber is digestible. In reality, dietary fiber is not digested by human enzymes, so it is not digestible; this makes this option inaccurate.
Option B: 'an indigestible, 4' claims fiber provides 4 calories per gram. While some components of fiber can be fermented to a small extent, the commonly accepted value for fiber’s caloric contribution is effectively 0 calories per gram for nutrition labeling and typical dietary guidance, so this is not correct.
Option C: 'a digestible, 4' states fiber is digestible and provides 4 calories per gram. As established, fiber is not digestible by humans, and the 4 kcal/g figure applies to most carbohydrates that are digested, so this is incorrect.
Option D: 'an indigestible, 0' aligns with the standard understanding that fiber is an indigestible complex carbohydrate and contributes 0 calories per gram in standard nutrition contexts, making this option correct.
In summary, the key concepts are that dietary fiber is a non-digestible carbohydrate for humans and that its caloric contribution is effectively zero in typical dietary calculations, which is why the other options don't match the established description.
