Anna tries to keep her kilocalorie intake under control. She eats mostly lean meats or fish and a lot of vegetables. Yesterday,

for dinner, she had 3 ounces of baked salmon with half a cup of mashed sweet potatoes and about a cup of steamed asparagus. She is concerned about her weight and decided to calculate the kilocalories in her meal. She looked up the nutrient content of her foods and she consumed 7 grams of fat (in salmon) 36 grams of carbohydrates (in sweet potatoes and asparagus) 27 grams of protein (in salmon, sweet potatoes, and asparagus) Part A Energy Value of a Meal How many kilocalories did Anna consume for dinner? Round the number of kilocalories to the nearest whole number. View Available Hint(s) kilocalories Submit Part B - Energy Value of a Macronutrient How many of Anna's kilocalories came from proteins? Round the number of kilocalories to the nearest whole number. View Available Hint(s) kilocalories

Answer:

A.- 300kcal (315kcal) / B.- 100kcal (108kcal) - arround (30-35%)

Explanation:

In order to determine how many kilocalories have the meal, you have to multiply the macro-molecule grams as the following rule:

lipids * 9 / carbohydrates * 4 / proteins * 4

then

7g*9 + 36g*4 + 27g*4 = 63kcal + 144kcal + 108kcal (P) = 315kcal

Answer:

A). 315 Kcal

B). 108 KCal

Explanation:

The reason we eat is to obtain energy, which is the same reason Anna ate dinner yesterday. Food consists of different classes but the three major ones that acts as sources of energy are Carbohydrates, fats and protein. The energy in the food we ingest is measured in Kilocalories (Kcal) which is a thousand calories.

However, the different classes of food mentioned above contains different quantities of energy per gram i.e.

1 gram of carbohydrate = 4 Kcal

1 gram of protein= 4 Kcal

1 gram of fat = 9 Kcal

Hence, to calculate the total energy value (Kcal) present in the dinner Anne ate, we multipy the grams of each class of food by it's corresponding energy value in Kcal. Thus, we have;

For 7 grams of fat, 7 × 9 Kcal/g = 63 Kcal

For 36 grams of carbohydrates, 36 × 4 Kcal/g = 144 Kcal

For 27 grams of protein, 27 × 4 Kcal/g = 108 Kcal

Hence, the total energy value contained in the food is:

63 + 108 + 144

= 315 Kcal

For question B, based on the above explanation, 27 grams of protein was present in the food eaten. Hence, 27 × 4 Kcal/g = 108 Kcal

108 Kcal of protein contributed to Anna's total Kcal present in the food.

The two cerebral hemispheres are separated by the
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. The two cerebral hemispheres are separated by the longitudinal fissure.

Explanation:

The longitudinal or intercerebral fissure is a deep cleft that divides the brain longitudinally into two hemispheres (the right and the left) joined together by the corpus callosum. Other fissures, such as the central sulcus, the lateral sulcus and the internal perpendicular fissure, divide each hemisphere into large cerebral lobes, which in turn have cerebral convolutions.

Who is most in danger from the effects of overfishing ?
faltersainse [42]

I don't think we can answer this question just like that. The question should be formulated a bit differently:

WHAT is in danger from the effects of overfishing?


Well, in the end of the "effect-spectrum" we are in danger, since we also eat fish. But the most affected species are the ones that form the aquatic ecosystems. Such as fish. Examples:

1 - Many of the fish we eat, feed on sea-weed. If there aren't enough fish to eat the growing population of sea-weed, many fish die of intoxication.

2 - We don't have almost any fish restrictions in a way, because we can eat basically all of them. Therefore, many fish (which are also being eaten) find themselves in a lack of food.

3 - Many times, we concentrate on a specific species, which is a main cause of the extinction of species.



Hope it helped,
