The oxidation of fats yields about 39 kJ of energy per gram.How much fat must be oxidizedto yield approximately 273 kJ?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the amount of fat needed to yield approximately 273 kJ of energy, we can use the following formula:

Energy = Amount of Fat x Energy Yield per Gram of Fat

Rearranging the formula:

Amount of Fat = Energy / Energy Yield per Gram of Fat

Plugging in the values:

Amount of Fat = 273 kJ / 39 kJ/g

Amount of Fat = 7.0 g

Therefore, the answer is choice C (7.0 g).

The Oxidation of Fats Yields About 39 KJ of Energy
