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