An 8 oz.bottle of energy drink contains 6.0 g of protein,2.0 g of fat,and 16.3 g of carbohydrate.The fuel value of this energy drink bottle is ________ kJ.The fuel values for protein,fat,and carbohydrate are 17,38,and 17 kJ/g,respectively.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, we need to calculate the energy in kJ for each macronutrient in the energy drink:

Energy from protein = 6.0 g x 17 kJ/g = 102 kJ
Energy from fat = 2.0 g x 38 kJ/g = 76 kJ
Energy from carbohydrate = 16.3 g x 17 kJ/g = 277.1 kJ

Then, we add up the energy from each macronutrient to get the total fuel value:

Total fuel value = 102 kJ + 76 kJ + 277.1 kJ = 455.1 kJ

Finally, we round the answer to the nearest whole number, since the question only asks for the fuel value in kJ, not in decimal places:

Fuel value = 460 kJ

Therefore, the best answer is D.
