Question

An athlete takes 100g of glucose of energy equivalent to 1560 kj how much amount of energy is uptaken by 1g molecule of glucose

Answer 1

Answer: 15.6 kJ of energy will be uptaken by 1 g of glucose molecule.

Explanation: We are given that 100 grams of glucose has an equivalent energy of 1560 kJ.

So, by applying unitary method, we get

1 gram of glucose molecule will have = $\frac{1560}{100}\times 1$

Therefore, 1 gram of glucose will have 15.6 kJ of energy.
