1. Energy in foods is provided by

Chemistry
1 answer:
ELEN [110]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Energy in foods is provided by macro-nutrients.

Explanation:

Nutrients are “environmental substances” used for growth, energy, and bodily functions of the  organisms. Those nutrients that are required  in larger amounts are called macro-nutrients.

There are 3 macro-nutrients needed by humans: lipids (fats), carbohydrates (sugar) and proteins. All these macro-nutrients gives energy in  form of “calories”. For example:

  • In carbohydrates, there are '4 calories' of energy per gram.
  • In proteins, there are '4 calories' of energy per gram.
  • And in lipids, there are '9 calories' of energy in one gram.

This means that if you look at a food label and it lists 10 grams of carbohydrates, 0 grams of protein, and 0 grams of fat, that food would contain 40 calories.

HNO3 Express your answers as ions separated by a comma.
erastovalidia [21]
In this item, it is assumed that we are to express the given compound in their ionic form. To be able to determine as to what ions this compound will dissociate into, we have the chemical reaction.

                     HNO3 --> H⁺  + NO₃⁻

Hence, the ions are H⁺, NO₃⁻.

Which of the following statements regarding glucose is FALSE?a) Glucose is the main component of starch and glycogen.b) Glucose
marishachu [46]

Answer:

The correct option is C.

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are one of the macro molecules that are consumed by living organisms. The end product of carbohydrate is glucose. Glucose is a very important fuel that the body cells used to produce energy, which they use to carry out their daily activities. Glucose is also known as blood sugar and it is the only fuel that living cells can use for the production of ATP. Other food macro molecules such as lipids and proteins can also be converted to glucose if there is a need for that. Glucose is always stored in the body in form of glycogen.

The statement given in option C about glucose is wrong because glucose is a monosaccharide and not a disaccharide.

Calculate the kinetic energy of a baseball (mass = 5.25 oz) with a velocity of 1.0 x 10^2 mi/h
pychu [463]

Answer:

262.5 Joules

Explanation:

You find the kinetic energy of multiplying half of the mass by the velocity. In this word problem it tells you the mass so you divide it by 2. That answer is 2.625, you then multiply that by the velocity, in this instance it's 1.0 x 10^2 mi/h.

The unit in kinetic energy is Joules. This is actually a really important part in chemistry and physics.

Why is a phenol more acidic than a regular alcohol? Group of answer choices
Aleks [24]

Answer:

a.Phenols have the ability to spread out the negative charge that forms.

Explanation:

This happens because of  the aromatic ring the phenols have. When loosing the proton, the anion formed have different resonance isomers due to the double bonds in the aromatic ring. This resonance makes the anion more stable and prevents the reaction going backwards.

On the other hand, regular alcohol doesn't have resonace and the reaction of loosing the proton goes leftward and righward: is in equilibrium.

That equilibrium decreases the acidity of the alcohol.
