Answer:
⇒ In the Liver
⇒ Ketone bodies are produced by the liver and used peripherally as an energy source when glucose is not readily available. The two main ketone bodies are acetoacetate (AcAc) and 3-beta-hydroxybutyrate (3HB), while acetone is the third, and least abundant, ketone body.
⇒ Ketones and ketoacids are alternative fuels for the body that are made when glucose is in short supply. They are made in the liver from the breakdown of fats. Ketones are formed when there is not enough sugar or glucose to supply the body's fuel needs. This occurs overnight, and during dieting or fasting.

Answer:
0.00508368 grams
Explanation:
From the question we are told that the daily allowance for infants and children is 8.00 × 10⁻⁶ mole of copper per kiogram of body weight.
Since this value is given in moles, we have to convert it to mass
Molar mass of a compound = mass in grams / no of moles of the compound.
So, Molar mass of copper = 63.546
No of moles of copper per kg = 8.00 × 10⁻⁶ mole
63.546 = mass/ 8.00 × 10⁻⁶ mole
Cross multiply
Mass of copper per kg body weight = 8.00 × 10⁻⁶ × 63.546
= 0.000508368 grams
Hence, the daily allowance of copper required for infants or children per kg of weight = 0.000508368 grams.
For a 10 kg infant this is calculated as:
If 1 kg per weight of an Infant = 0.000508368grams
10 kg =
We cross multiply
10 kg × 0.000508368 grams
= 0.00508368 grams.
Therefore, the mass of copper required per day for a 10 kg child is 0.00508368 grams
Was there a question anywhere here ? Lol
