Total fiber is the sum of dietary fiber and functional fiber. Dietary fiber is found in plant products. It is the naturally occurring nutrient found in grains, fruits, vegetables, beans, peas and nuts. It is all parts of plant food that we can't digest or absorb in the small intestine. Because it passes through our body without being absorbed, it does not have calories

What is the difference between net grams of carbohydrates and total carbohydrates?
The difference is the fiber. If you add the amount of fiber to the net carbs you will get the total carb amount.
How does a light ray propagates to a optical fiber?
A light ray propagates through an optical fiber by undergoing total internal reflection at the boundary between the core and cladding of the fiber. This allows the light to travel down the length of the fiber without significant loss in intensity. The core of the fiber has a higher refractive index than the cladding, which is what enables this total internal reflection to occur.
What percentage of the calories of a very high fiber food can be deducted from its total calorie count since the fiber is not digested?
The calorie count on most foods includes 4 calories/gram of fiber, although the body does not really digest fiber well. Estimates vary, but you can assume that no more than 1-2 calories will be absorbed per gram of fiber. Therefore, look at the number of grams of fiber, and subtract 2 x (grams fiber) from the total calorie count. I am not sure how well soluble fiber is digested by the body, so for soluble fiber, you may want to be more conservative.
Does protein contain fiber?
No, dietary fiber is not a protein. It is carbohydrate but does not contribute too much to your total calories. Including sufficient dietary fiber in the diet is good for weight loss and proper health
How does fiber optic communication work?
it works on the principle of total internal reflection
Do you need total internal refraction to get the fiber optics to work?
Not internal refraction - internal reflection. And yes, that's essential to make fiber optics work.
Name the application of the total internally reflected of light in the world of telecommunicatioselaborate your answer?
The phenomenon of total internal reflection is critical to the transmission of modulated light through optical fiber. If light impinging on the internal boundary of the fiber at whatever angle were to escape the fiber, the loss per unit length of fiber would be much greater than it is, and the entire technology of fiber transmission would not be feasible. That would be great for us microwave guys, but bad news for the Internet.
Why does the dietary fiber and sugar not add up to total carbohydrates?
you can't digest dietary fiber. Total carbohydrates means what you've eaten and digested...
How do you figure net carbohydrates per day?
To calculate simple carbohydrates first you need to figure out your target intake. Next you need to get an understanding of serving sizes. After that research needs to be done on the amount of carbs in everything you consume. The last step is to keep a food journal and calculate the totals.
What happens to the light rays when they pass through the optical fiber?
Light rays pass through the optical fiber by constantly reflecting off the walls of the fiber through a process called total internal reflection. This allows the light to travel long distances without significant loss of intensity.
Is 15 grams one carbohydrate?
15 =/= 1, you're going to need to give this question more context. If you're into subtractive carb counting, you can take total carbs and subtract fiber for 'net' carbs. The theory is that fiber doesn't 'count' as a carb because the body can not break it down. 15 total - 14 fiber = 1 net carb
What are the chemical groups in food?
They are carbohydrates, proteins, fats/oils, vitamins/minerals, and fiber. 5 in total.
