If an 1800-kcalorie diet contains 100 grams of fat, the percentage of kcal from the fat is: a. 20 %. b. 35 %. c. 50 %. d. 65 %.

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

It should be about 5.4% which adds up to about 100.8 calories. None of these answer options appear to be consistent with that

Explanation:

1,800*0.20=360 kcals

1,800*0.35=630 kcals

Anything higher than those values is much too high for fat intake.

Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

The increase in triglycerides can be a result of a diet with excess carbohydrates.

Explanation:

As we saw in the question presented above, the man ate a carbohydrate-rich breakfast. Since he does strenuous exercise, it's likely that all of his meals are high in carbohydrates, so he has a lot of body energy. However, this can generate excess carbohydrate in his body and this excess can stimulate insulin, which in turn stimulates the body's fat cells to form more fat. The increase in body fat is accompanied by an increase in the level of triglycerides, which is one of the components of fat.

Correct Each row of the table below describes an aqueous solution at . The second column of the table shows the initial componen

VMariaS [17]

Based on the given table;

A is a basic solution; addition of HClO₄ makes pH lower.

B is a neutral solution; addition of KI make pH stay same.

C is an basic solution; addition of NaClO₄ makes pH stay same.

D is a neutral solution; addition of KOH makes pH higher.

<h3>What changes occur in the pH of the solutions?</h3>

The pH of a solution is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of the solution.

Solutions of pH less than 7 are acidic solutions whereas solutions of pH greater than 7 are basic solutions. Solutions of pH 7 are neutral solutions.

Addition of acids to an acid solution, will decrease the pH, while addition of a base will increase the pH.

Conversely, addition of a base to an basic solution will increase its pH whereas, addition of an acid will decrease the pH of the solution.

Based on the given table;

A is initially a solution; addition of HClO₄, an acid will make pH lower.

B is a neutral solution, addition of a neutral salt such as KI will make pH stay same.

C is an basic solution. When NaClO₄ is added, pH will be same.

D is neutral. Add KOH, and pH will be higher.

In conclusion, pH of a solution is affected by addition of acids, salts or bases.
