A saturated triglyceride (fat) molecule and a disaccaride (sucrose, table sugar)

Question

A saturated triglyceride (fat) molecule and a disaccaride (sucrose, table sugar) molecule are pictured below. The weight of 1 triglyceride molecule is equal to the weight of about 3 sucrose molecules. When you eat and digest molecules, the bonds between atoms are broken and the energy released can be converted to energy that the body can use. in addition,, is stored in a typical non-polar bond than in a polar bond. If you eat an equal weight of fat and of table sugar, will you be able to get more energy from the fat or from the table sugar? Explain your answer.

Explanation / Answer

As we know sugar is a type of carbohydrates and if we consume equal amount of fats and sugar then more energy will be produce by the fats as comapre to sugar this is because fats are hard to break and they require more energy to oxidise so that there end product can turn into carbon dioxide and water this is on the basis of gram to gram energy but if we talk about which will provide rapid energy it will be sugar then fats.
