Explanation of Solution

Hunger is the sensation that represents the physiological need to eat food for the body. Stomach rumbling is a sign that the body requires food and lack of food on time can lead to lightheadedness, weakness, fatigue, shakes, or irritability. Whereas appetite is the desire to eat. It can be triggered by hunger but mainly is due to cravings, habits, availability of food, boredom, and emotional factors.

Smelling or sight of food can stimulate the desire to eat food which is appetite. Hunger is beneficial for the body as it provides cues to the requirement for the body to refuel itself and provide energy to the vital organs for functioning and preventing the body to regulate its physiological processes. Contrastingly, appetite, when stimulated by hunger, fulfills the body’s need for food. Generally it is not a cue for the body’s need but the sensation that is produced by the brain after seeing or smelling the food and so it does not serve as an essential response from the body to regulate physiological processes.
