fresh golden delicious apple weighing 4.29 oz (122 g) contains 18.0 g of fructose, what caloric content does the fructose contribute to the ay ress your answer in Calories to three significant figures.

To calculate the caloric content from the fructose in the apple, we first need to know the energy content of fructose. Fructose provides approximately 4 calories per gram.

Given that the fresh golden delicious apple contains 18.0 g of fructose, we can calculate the caloric content from fructose as follows:

\[ \text{Calories from fructose} = \text{grams of fructose} \times \text{calories per gram} \]

Substituting in the values:

\[ \text{Calories from fructose} = 18.0 , \text{g} \times 4 , \text{calories/g} = 72.0 , \text{calories} \]

Therefore, the caloric content contributed by the fructose is approximately 72.0 calories. In three significant figures, this is:

\[ \boxed{72.0} \text{ Calories} \]
