Answer:

1. 0.8 grams

2. 51 grams

Explanation:

a. The recommended daily allowance of protein for every individual per kilogram of healthy body weight is 0.8grams. The same standard applies to Erin.

b. The recommended daily protein requirement is obtained by multiplying the body weight (in kilograms) to the Protein RDA.

For Erin, this will mean converting her weight in pounds to kilograms.

141 pounds = 63.9565kg

Recommended daily protein requirement equals

63.9565 kg * 0.8 grams

= 51.16grams approximately,

51 grams.

Some types of vitamin A are immediately usable by the body, while other types need to be converted first.
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

True: Retinol is the most absorbed.

Explanation:

Vitamin A digestion follows the same process as the rest of the food lipids. Thus, retinol esters are hydrolyzed by pancreatic lipases, after binding to bile salts and micelle formation, and free retinol is absorbed in the duodenum and jejunum. The absorption of retinoids is 80-90% while that of carotenes is 30-40%.
