Answer: Fats

Explanation:

The food energy can be defined as the chemical energy that animals or humans receive from the food they eat via cellular respiration. The food energy is in the form of biological fuel which are necessary for metabolic processes in the body like respiration, cell growth and repair, reproduction, digestion and other functions.

The food consists of biomolecules like proteins, carbohydrates, fats and others which act as biological fuels.

The fat is a biological fuel which contains the highest amount of food energy per gram. The fat contains 37kcal/g energy. Proteins and carbohydrates only provide 17kcal/g energy.

The fats are stored in the adipocytes of the humans and animals and are the energy reservoirs.

Try looking through this, don't actually read it if you don't want to but if you skim through it you might find answers. Good Luck! :) ..Reactions of Aldehydes, Ketones And Phenols Objective: 1. To carry out some simple chemicals test in order to distinguish between aldehydes, ketones and phenols 2. To study the properties of aldehydes, ketones and phenols. 3. To identify the unknowns A, B, C, D and E. Introduction: Part I : Reaction of Aldehydes and Ketones The carbonyl group is C=O and any compound containing this group that can be described as a carbonyl compound. Carbonyl compounds fall into two main classes: aldehydes and ketones on the one hand and carboxylic acids and their derivatives on the other hand. The characteristic reactions of the aldehydes and ketones are addition and oxidation reactions occurring at the unsaturated carbonyl group. With the same reagent, aldehydes usually react faster than ketones, mainly because there is lees crowding at the carbonyl carbon and the steric effect. Aldehydes are also more easily oxidized than ketones. The carbonyl and other compounds investigated in this experiment are tested in each of the following ways: A) Chromic Acid (H2CrO4) Chromic acid is a strong oxidant. Aldehydes are oxidized to carboxylic acids by chromic acid. The Cr6+ in the chromic acid which is orange, then is reduced to Cr3+ which is green/blue. Ketones are not oxidized by chromic acid.image B) Tollen’s Test (Ag(NH3)2+ / OH- Tollen’s reagent (Ag(NH3)2+ / OH- is a weak oxidant. Aldehydes are readily oxidized to carboxylic acids by Tollen’s reagent to produce a silver mirror on the inside of a clean test tube. Ketones are not oxidized by Tollen’s reagent.image C) Fehling’s solution Fehling’s solution is an oxidizing agent. It is prepared by mixing equal part of Fehling’s solution I (copper(II) sulfate) and Fehling’s solution II (sodium potassium tartate and sodium hydroxide). Aldehydes are easily oxidized to carboxylic acid by Fehling’s solution and will reduce the cupric ion which complexed with tartate ion to cuprous oxide. A positive result is indicated by the formation of a brick red precipitate. Ketones are not oxidized by Fehling’s solution.image D) 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (DNP Test or Brady’s Reagent) 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine (Brady’s reagent) is an important reagent related to hydrazine. Most aldehydes and ketones very readily with this reagent to give the yellow orange and red precipitates of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones. Unconjugated aldehydes and ketones give precipitates toward the yellow while conjugated compound tend to be deeper colour of red. The conversion of aldehydes and ketones into hydrazone is an example of the addition-elimination reaction occurring at the unsaturated carbonyl group.image E) Iodoform Test Iodoform test can be used for the detection of acetalaldehyde and all methyl ketone which have the formula:image Iodoform, CHI3 is a yellow solid with a strong medicinal smell. Iodoform will precipitate out of a mixture of methyl ketone, iodine and base.image For acetaldehyde, the following reaction shows the formation of iodoform:image Compounds that are easily oxidized to acetaldehyde and methyl ketones also give a positive iodoform test. Only ethanol can be oxidized to acetaldehyde and secondary alcohol that have the general formula CH3CH(OH)R can be oxidized to methyl ketones. Part II: Reactions
