To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the given information and perform the necessary calculations. ### Step 1: Calculate the energy utilized by the athlete The athlete is given 1560 kJ of energy from 100 g of glucose. Since he utilizes 50% of this energy, we can calculate the utilized energy as follows: \[ \text{Utilized Energy} = 50\% \times 1560 \, \text{kJ} = 0.5 \times 1560 \, \text{kJ} = 780 \, \text{kJ} \] ...
