A woman consumes 500 grams of carbohydrate, 30 grams of protein, and 75 grams of fat in one day. How many total kcalories has she taken in, and how many and what percentage of kcalories are from carbohydrate, protein, and fat? A. Total kcalories:
B. Percentage of kcalories from carbohydrate:
C. Percentage of kcalories from protein:
D. Percentage of kcalories from fat:

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

A. For Total k. calories

= (Number of grams in carbohydrates × 1 gm of carbohydrates) + (Number of grams in protein × 1 gm of proteins) + (number of grams in fat × 1 gm in fat)

= (500 × 4) + (30 × 4) + (75 × 9)

= 2000 + 120 + 675

= 2795 k. calories

b. As we know that

1 gm of carbohydrates = 4 k. calories

So, for 500 grams it would be

= 500 × 4

= 2000 k. calories

Now the percentage is  

= Total grams in carbohydrates ÷ Total kcalories

= 2000 ÷ 2795

= 0.72

= 72%

C.  As we know that

1 gm of proteins = 4 k. calories

So, for 40 grams, it would be

30 × 4 = 120 k. calories

Now the percentage is

= Total grams in protein ÷ Total kcalories

= 120 ÷ 2795

= 0.043

= 4.3%

D. As we know that

1 gm of fat = 9 k. calories

So for 75 grams, it would be  

75 × 4 = 200 k. calories

So, the percentage is

= Total grams in fat ÷ Total kcalories

= 200 ÷ 2795

= 0.072

= 7.2%

google my dude. if it doesn't show up ask me.

fertilization, pictured in figure 24.23a is the process in which gametes (an egg and sperm) fuse to form a zygote. the egg and sperm each contain one set of chromosomes. to ensure that the offspring has only one complete diploid set of chromosomes, only one sperm must fuse with one egg. in mammals, the egg is protected by a layer of extracellular matrix consisting mainly of glycoproteins called the zona pellucida. when a sperm binds to the zona pellucida, a series of biochemical events, called the acrosomal reactions, take place. in placental mammals, the acrosome contains digestive enzymes that initiate the degradation of the glycoprotein matrix protecting the egg and allowing the sperm plasma membrane to fuse with the egg plasma membrane, as illustrated in figure 24.23b. the fusion of these two membranes creates an opening through which the sperm nucleus is transferred into the ovum. the nuclear membranes of the egg and sperm break down and the two haploid genomes condense to form a diploid genome.
