Almonds may be small, but they pack a great number of nutrients, including protein, vitamin e, and vitamin b2. almonds also contain antioxidants and monounsaturated fat, a “good” type of fat that, like the omega-3 fatty acids, reduces the risk of heart disease.
review the graph that represents the whole class data. notice that the almond samples provide a large amount of chemical energy. what is the best explanation for this large amount of available energy?
a) vitamins, like vitamin e and b2, contain large amounts of usable chemical energy.
b) fats and proteins are molecules with many chemical bonds; the bonds release much energy when broken.
c) the energy provided by the almonds is related to mass rather than the chemical composition of the almond.
d) monounsaturated fats, the good fats, contain many chemical bonds that release large amounts of chemical energy.
