15. A food sample contains 25 g carbohydrate, 8 g fat and 5 g protein. The energy content is:
A) 120 Cal
B) 160 Cal
C) 170 Cal
D) 200 Cal

C) 170 Cal

Explanation:

We are given the composition of a food sample as;

Carbohydrate = 25 g

fat = 8 g

Protein = 5 g

We are needed to determine the energy content of the food;

We need to know the amount energy yielded by each food substance.

That is; carbohydrates and proteins generate 4 calories per gram while fats generates 9 calories per gram.

Therefore;

Amount of energy will be;

= (25 × 4 cal/g) + (8g × 9 cal/g) + (5 g × 4 cal/g)

= 172 cal

Approximately , 170 calories

Therefore, the energy content will be 170 calories

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.
