Your body creates chemical energy from the food you eat, which contains carbohydrates, lipids, and proteins. These are large molecules that first need to be broken down into simpler molecules, such as monosaccharides, C6H12O6; fatty acids, C14H28O2; and amino acids, C2H5NO2. Of these molecules, which has the greatest supply of hydrogen atoms per molecule? Which is the most reduced in terms of having the least number of oxygen atoms per carbon atom? Which can react with the most oxygen molecules to produce the most energy? Which provides the most dietary Calories per gram?

- Here is a simple example. The inhabitants of a small island begin exporting beautiful cloth made from a rare plant that grows only on their island. Seeing how popular the small quantity that they export has been, they steadily raise their prices. A clothing maker from New York, thinking that he can save money by "cutting out the middleman," decides to travel to the small island and buy the cloth himself. Ignorant of the local custom of offering strangers outrageous prices and then negotiating down, the clothing maker accepts (much to everyone's surpise) the initial price of 400 tepizes/m². The price of this cloth in New York is 120 dollars/yard². Part A If the clothing maker bought 500 m² of this fabric, how much money did he lose? Use 1 tepiz = 0.625 dollar and 0.9144 m = 1 yard. Express your answer in dollars using two significant figures. ▸ View Available Hint(s) ΜΕ ΑΣΦ ? dollarsarrow_forwardSpace aliens visited you last night and left you with a "present". They left behind a liter of shimmering blue substance. This substance is liquid at room temperature, but when you place it in a refrigerator it turns to a shimmering blue solid. When you take it back out of the refrigerator, it turns into a shimmering blue liquid again. What kind of change (chemical or physical) most likely occurred? Explain why to support your answer. Use evidence from the text to support your answer.arrow_forwardWhich scenario is an example of a negative feedback loop?

Sawdust has 30% C, C:N 300, and MC 20%, whereas food scraps have 2% N, C:N 20, and 50% MC. If the amount of leaves used is 15 kg, determine how much food scraps and sawdust should be added to get a compost mixture with an ideal ratio of C:N 30:1 and moisture content 60%?arrow_forwardChemical Engineers are actively involved in the production of sunscreens.
