Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Nutrient density refers to the amount of nutrients a food contains in relationship to the number of calories it contains. More nutrient-dense foods provide more nutrients per calorie (and in each bite) than do less nutrient-dense foods, and so are better choices for meeting your DRIs without exceeding your daily caloric needs. Energy density refers to the number of calories a food contains relative to its weight (grams) or volume. To summarize: nutrient density = amount of nutrients per calorie in a food; energy density = number of calories per gram (or volume) of food.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
