Answer:
The calories Anna consumed for dinner is 315 kcal (300kcal). The calories that came from proteins is 108 kcal (100kcal).
Explanation:
Macronutrients are nutrients such as protein, carbohydrates, and fat that provide the energy required for the normal functioning of the body. Usually, the energy obtained from macronutrients is expressed in calories. Each gram of protein provides 4 kilocalories while each gram of fat provides 9 kilocalories. Carbohydrates per gram also provide 4 kilocalories.
Here, Anna consumed 7 grams of fat (in salmon)
, 36 grams of carbohydrates (in sweet potatoes and asparagus) and 27 grams of protein (in salmon, sweet potatoes, and asparagus) for the dinner.
Therefore, total calories in 7 grams of fat is kilocalories.
Total calories in 36 grams of carbohydrates is kilocalories.
Total calories in 27 grams of protein is kilocalories.
Therefore, the total calories Anna consumed for dinner is kilocalories i.e.,
kcal.
The calories that came from proteins is calories i.e.,
kcal.

Answer:
Explanation:
Glucose is a sugar, highly soluble in water because it has lots of polar hydroxyl groups (-OH) which can form hydrogen-bonds with water molecules. These types of bonds are intermolecular forces which are present in other macromolecules like the DNA or proteins.
Cholesterol and triglycerids are lipids. These have long chains of hydrocarbons, which are non polar and therefore insoluble in water.
Blood is made of a solid and a liquid part. <u>The solid part contains cells</u>. <u>The liquid part (plasma), is made of water, salts, and proteins</u>. Glucose and cholesterol/triglycerids travel in the liquid part of the blood, in an aqueous environment. Because the lipids are not soluble, they need to travel with a carrier protein that keeps them protected from the surrounding water.
