Explanation:

For a man weighing 185 pounds his minimum daily protein requirement is <u>67.118 g </u>of protein.

Proteins are integral to many bodily functions including cell growth,repair and as an alternative source of energy.

Further Explanation:

Large monomer chains form biological macromolecules that perform many essential body functions, including nucleic acids, carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids. These are organic molecules, meaning Carbons bonded to the elements oxygen (O), hydrogen (H), nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) are ringed or long-chain.

Proteins are structural support molecules consisting of long amino acid chains joined via peptide (CONH) bonds; these are 20 specific units arranged into several macromolecules. Amino acids are absorbed through digestion and incorporated into the cells of the body to form muscle organs that signal molecules and provide an alternative source of energy.

  • First... convert 185 pounds to kilograms. Pounds (lbs) can be a measure of mass or weight, while Kilograms (kg) are a measure of mass.  
  • 1 pound= apprx 0.4535 kilograms.   ∴ 185 lbs = 83.8975 kg
  • Then, find the daily requirement for the person's mass in kg .....................<em>0.8 grams (g) of protein is recommended per kg of body weight.       </em>∴ 0.8 × 83.91 = <u>67.118 g</u>

Drinking alcoholic or caffeinated beverages increases urine output more than drinking an equivalent amount of water.
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

A) ADH secretion decreases. B) Urine osmolarity decreases.

Explanation:

Antidiuretic Hormone or ADH is responsible for the reabsorption of water through the kidneys.

A) Drinking alcoholic and/or caffeinated beverages decreases the release and effect of ADH so the water does not get absorbed as much as it should, which in turn results in more urination.

B) Osmolarity is a term used to express the concentration of a solution in terms of a certain particle. Since less ADH secretion results in more water being in the urine, this lowers the concentration of the urine. So urine osmolarity would be decreased.

I hope this answer helps.

How come we have 20 amino acids and they make thousands of proteins please give me reasons
Kryger [21]

Answer:

The human body uses just 21 amino acids to make all the proteins it needs to function and grow. Because amino acids can be arranged in many different combinations, it's possible for your body to make thousands of different kinds of proteins from just the same 21 amino acids.
