Raw Sunflower Seeds

The food item selected from the kitchen with the Nutrition Label is the raw sunflower seeds. The nutritional facts label on this food item indicates that the total fat is 17grams, total carbohydrates are 6 grams, and the protein is 7 grams. This table below shows the nutritional facts label of this food item.
Biomolecule Amount (grams) Multiplier Total Energy from each Biomolecule (Calories)
Total Fat 17 X 9 153
Total Carbohydrate 6 X 4 24
Total Protein 7 X 4 28
Total Mass 30 Total Calories 205

Analysis
The calculation of the percentage of the total mass will involve dividing the amount of the grams for every biomolecule by the total mass and even multiplying it by 100. In that case,
The percentage of the Total Fat = 17/ 30 X 100 = 56.67%
The percentage of the Total Carbohydrates = 6/ 30 X 100 = 20.00%
The percentage of the Protein = 7/ 30 X 100 = 23.33%
The amount of the energy from every biomolecule is found in calories by multiplying the biomolecule by the number of the calories per gram of the biomolecule as indicated in the table above. Thus,
The energy in the total fat = 17 X 9 = 153 Calories
The energy in Total Carbohydrates = 6 X 4 = 24 Calories
The energy in the Protein = 7 X 4 = 28 Calories.
The total energy = (153 + 24 + 28) Calories = 205 Calories.
The energy percentage is as follows:
Energy percentage of Total Fat = 153/ 205 X 100 = 74.63%
Energy percentage of Total Carbohydrates = 24/ 205 X 100 = 11.

71%
Energy percentage of the Protein = 28/ 205 X 100 = 13.66%
For that matter, it is worth concluding that the biomolecule with highest calories contribution was the same with the biomolecule with the highest mass contribution. The biomolecule with highest calories was Total Fat with 74.63%. At the same time, the biomolecule with highest mass contribution was Total Fat with 56.67%. Hence, the biomolecule was the same.
