Question

Part A Popcorn and potato chips are two of the most popular snack foods. One serving of the typical microwave popcorn and one serving of regular potato chips provide about the same amount of calories. However, one serving of popcon is 4 cups, while a single serving of chips is only about a cup. A group of biology students decides to explore the question of whether the type and amount of a snack a person eats affects how much they eat at their next meal using popcom and chips as the snacks. Which of the following hypotheses could address this question? People who consume one serving of chips eat the same volume of food at their next meal as people that have one serving of popcom for a snack. Consuming one cup of chips as a snack decreases the number of calories a person consumes at their next meal more than a snack of one cup of popcom. Eating one serving of popcorn reduces the volume of food a person consumes at their next meal more than eating one serving of chips People who consume 4 cups of popcom as a snack eat more calories at their next meal than people who eat 4 cups of chips as a snack All of the above Submit

Explanation / Answer

I think the 3rd option is more close to build a hypothesis here. Though both of the foods have same calorie value in terms of sengle serving. But tje amoount here is much more for the popcorn than the chips. So it is likely that greater amoount of food cosmued by a person may reduce the uptake of food amount for the next meal. Here the volume of the food may vary in the next food uptake.
