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>

Answer: Most viruses can use host machinery to produce more of themselves

Explanation:

Since viruses carry out no metabolism themselves, they rely solely on the living cells of the host (organism they infect) to replicate and spread from cell to cell.

Thus, viruses do not kill the cells they infect since they need them, and use them to replicate more offsprings

What are the differences between DNA and RNA?
STALIN [3.7K]
Summary of Differences Between DNA and RNA<span>DNA contains the sugar deoxyribose, while RNA contains the sugar ribose. The only difference between ribose and deoxyribose is that ribose has one more -OH group than deoxyribose, which has -H attached to the second (2') carbon in the ring.DNA is a double stranded molecule while RNA is a single stranded molecule.DNA is stable under alkaline conditions while RNA is not stable.<span>DNA and RNA perform different functions in humans. DNA is responsible for storing and transferring genetic information while RNA directly codes for amino acids and as acts as a messenger between DNA and ribosomes to make proteins.</span></span>
