Miguel's doctor has recommended that he consume less saturated fat. at his favorite fast-food restaurant, miguel chooses a grilled chicken sandwich. the menu states that the sandwich contains 460 calories, and 6 grams of saturated fat. what is the percentage of calories from saturated fat in this choice?
Answers
Answer 1
Each gram of saturated fat give 9 calories. If Miguel's choice of the menu contained 6 gram of saturated fat,he choice contained 6g*9cal/g=54cal. Miguel's choice had a total of 460 calories. 54 calories of saturated fat is equivalent to (54cal*100%)/460cal=11.74%. The percentage of calories from saturated fat is 11.74.

Answers
Fungi are eukaryotic and saprophytic microorganisms that grow on dead and decaying matter. These organisms release digestive enzymes that break down leaves, fruit and other organic material into simple molecules. These can grow on wood, clothes, food, fruits, leather shoes, etc by breaking down complex organic matter into simpler forms with the help of extracellular digestive enzymes such as cellulases, proteases, phosphatases, etc.
