To solve the problem step by step, we will follow these calculations: ### Step 1: Calculate the energy utilized by the athlete. The athlete is given 100 g of glucose, which provides an energy equivalent of 1560 kJ. He utilizes 50% of this energy during an event. \[ \text{Energy utilized} = \frac{50}{100} \times 1560 \, \text{kJ} = 780 \, \text{kJ} \] ...
