Question

You read the nutritional labels on a bag of chips and find that the serving size is 1 oz (28 grams) and it contains 10. grams of fat per serving. If you eat a serving of these potato chips how much energy from fat are you consuming? (See the examples on page 6 of the experiment handout). Check all answers that apply.

Answer 1

1 serve = 90 kcal from fat

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given question, the fat present in 1 serving of chips is about 10 grams or from 28 grams of serving, 10 grams is of fat. If we eat one serve, the energy we consume from the fat is calculated in the kilocalories.

When one gram of fat undergoes cellular respiration of oxidation or breakdown, it provides about 9 kcal energy.

In the given scenario, since 10 g of fat is present therefore

energy consumed is- 9 x 10

=90 kcal

Thus, 1 serve = 90 kcal from fat is correct.
