The vitamin content per ounce for three foods is given in the following table.a. Use matrices to show that no combination of these foods can provide exactly 14 mg of thiamin, 32 mg of riboflavin, and 9 mg of niacin.b. Use matrices to describe in practical terms what happens if the riboflavin requirement is increased by 5 mg and the other requirements stay the same.
Triacylglycerols, with their hydrocarbon-like fatty acids, have the highest energy content of the major nutrients.   (a) If 15% of the body mass of a 70.0 kg adult consists of triacylglycerols, what is the total available fuel reserve, in kilojoules and kilocalories, in the form of triacylglycerols? Recall that 1.00 kcal = 4.18 kJ.   (b) If the basal energy requirement is approximately 8,400 kJ/day (2,000 kcal/day), how long could this person survive if the oxidation of fatty acids stored as triacylglycerols were the only source of energy?   (c) What would be the weight loss in pounds per day under such starvation conditions (1 lb = 0.454 kg)?
The average fuel value of fats is 9kcal / g . A 1 oz French fries typically contains 4.5 g of fat. What is the fuel value in kcal) of a medium size French fries from McDonalds ( about 115 g)? Assume that fat is the only fuel source . (1oz = 454g) Use dimensional /unit analysis to solve this problem.
