Do fats contain large amounts of energy per gram?
Fats provide a form of store energy. Fats can provide more than half the energy that the body needs and twice as much as than carbohydrates
Which class of organic compounds stores the most energy gram for gram?
Fats have the most energy gram for gram. I think that lard (sometimes called shortening) is the highest calorie out of all fats (but it's not much different to all other fats really).
What does fat provid?
The main function of fats in the body is to provide energy: By supplying energy, fats save proteins from being used for energy and allow them to perform their more important role of building and repairing tissues. Fats on oxidation provide almost twice as much energy as that given by carbohydrates.
How much energy you get from the different nutrients?
fats - 9 calories per gram protein 4 calories per gram carbohydrates 4 calories per gram alcohol 7 calories per gram
Which macromolecule contains the most energy?
Lipids (fats) contain the most energy per gram of all the macromolecules. They have twice as much energy as carbohydrates or proteins when metabolized.
How much of energy one gram of fat?
1 gram of fat provides 9 kcals......and 1 gram of protein/carbs provide 4 kcals...
How much energy do lipids store as compared to carbohydrates?
lipids contain much more energy then carbohydrates. One gram of lipids create an average of 423 ATP or 0.47 mol ATP/gram. Glucose, with a molecular weight of 180.16, generates only 36 ATP, or 0.20 mol ATP/gram
How much energy is released from 1 gram of watsits?

What releases twice as much energy than carbohydrates?
Gram for gram, lipids release twice as much energy as carbohydrates do.
What does fat give twice as much energy of?
when they say fat yields this much energy or carbs give that much energy they are talking about calories. and more specifically they are talking about Kilocalories. 1 Kilocalorie is the amount of heat it takes to increase the temperature of 1 kilogram of water 1 degree (i believe fahrenheit) at one atmosphere (basically means sea level ish). heat is the energy. carbohydrates yield 4 calories/gram proteins yield 4 calories/gram fats yield 11 calories/gram alcohol is 9 calories/gram (just threw that one in there) ^^
