Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The type of macronutrient found in potato chips is to be stated. The decreasing order of abundance of macronutrients present in potato chips is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Macronutrients are required in large amounts in the human body. Three types of macronutrients are necessary for the human body for the proper functioning of metabolism. The three types of macronutrients are lipids, proteins and carbohydrates.

Answer to Problem 22.6E

The macronutrient found in potato chips is carbohydrate.

The decreasing abundance order of macronutrients present in potato chips is shown below.

$\text{Carbohydrates}>\text{lipids}>\text{proteins}$.

Explanation of Solution

Potatoes are good source of carbohydrate and small amount of protein. Potato chips are formed by deep frying in oil. Deep frying makes potatoes a source of lipid also. Therefore, potato chips are a good source of carbohydrates.

The decreasing abundance order of macronutrients present in potato chips is shown below.

$\text{Carbohydrates}>\text{lipids}>\text{proteins}$.

Conclusion

The macronutrient found in potato chips is carbohydrate and the decreasing abundance order of macronutrients present in potato chips is $\text{Carbohydrates}>\text{lipids}>\text{proteins}$.

Answer to Problem 22.6E

The macronutrient found in a buttered toast is carbohydrate.

The decreasing abundance order of macronutrients present in a buttered toast is shown below.

$\text{Carbohydrates}>\text{lipids}>\text{proteins}$.

Explanation of Solution

Butter is milk made product. It is a good source of carbohydrate with sufficient amount of lipid. Milk sugar is also present in butter which makes it a good source of lipid also.

Therefore, the decreasing abundance order of macronutrients present in a buttered toast is shown below.

$\text{Carbohydrates}>\text{lipids}>\text{proteins}$.

Conclusion

The macronutrient found in a buttered toast is carbohydrate and the decreasing abundance order of macronutrients present in a buttered toast is $\text{Carbohydrates}>\text{lipids}>\text{proteins}$.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The type of macronutrient found in plain toast with jam is to be stated. The decreasing order of abundance of macronutrients present in plain toast with jam is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Macronutrients are required in large amounts in the human body. Three types of macronutrients are necessary for the human body for the proper functioning of metabolism. The three types of macronutrients are lipids, proteins and carbohydrates.

Answer to Problem 22.6E

The macronutrient found in a plain sandwich with jam is carbohydrates.

The decreasing abundance order of macronutrients present in a plain toast with jam is shown below.

$\text{Carbohydrates}>\text{proteins}>\text{lipids}$.

Explanation of Solution

Jam is made up of different types of fruits. Fruits are rich in sugar. This makes jam a good source of carbohydrates. Therefore, the type of macronutrient found in plain toast with jam is carbohydrate.

Therefore, the decreasing abundance order of macronutrients present in a cheese sandwich is shown below.

$\text{Carbohydrates}>\text{proteins}>\text{lipids}$.

Conclusion

The macronutrient found in a plain sandwich with jam is carbohydrate and the decreasing abundance order of macronutrients present in a plain sandwich with jam is $\text{Carbohydrates}>\text{proteins}>\text{lipids}$.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The type of macronutrient found in cheese sandwich is to be stated. The decreasing order of abundance of macronutrients present in cheese sandwich is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Macronutrients are required in large amounts in the human body. Three types of macronutrients are necessary for the human body for the proper functioning of metabolism. The three types of macronutrients are lipids, proteins and carbohydrates.

Answer to Problem 22.6E

The macronutrient found in a cheese sandwich is carbohydrate.

The decreasing abundance order of macronutrients present in a cheese sandwich is shown below.

$\text{Carbohydrates}>\text{lipids}>\text{proteins}$.

Explanation of Solution

Cheese is milk made product. It is a good source of carbohydrate with sufficient amount of lipid. Milk sugar is also present in a cheese sandwich which makes cheese sandwich a good source of lipid also.

Therefore, the decreasing abundance order of macronutrients present in a cheese sandwich is shown below.

$\text{Carbohydrates}>\text{lipids}>\text{proteins}$.

Conclusion

The macronutrient found in a cheese sandwich is carbohydrate and the decreasing abundance order of macronutrients present in a cheese sandwich is $\text{Carbohydrates}>\text{lipids}>\text{proteins}$.

Interpretation Introduction

(e)

Interpretation:

The type of macronutrient found in a lean steak is to be stated. The decreasing order of abundance of macronutrients present in a lean steak is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Macronutrients are required in large amounts in the human body. Three types of macronutrients are necessary for the human body for the proper functioning of metabolism. The three types of macronutrients are lipids, proteins and carbohydrates.

Answer to Problem 22.6E

The macronutrient found in a lean steak is protein.

The decreasing abundance order of macronutrients present in a lean steak is shown below.

$\text{Lipids}>\text{proteins > carbohydrates}$.

Explanation of Solution

A lean steak means a piece of meat. It is a good source of protein with sufficient amount of lipid. A lean steak does not contain much amount of fat or carbohydrate. Therefore, a lean steak is a good source of protein.

Therefore, the decreasing abundance order of macronutrients present in a lean steak is shown below.

$\text{Lipids}>\text{proteins > carbohydrates}$.

Conclusion

The macronutrient found in a lean steak is protein and the decreasing abundance order of macronutrients present in a lean steak is $\text{Lipids}>\text{proteins > carbohydrates}$.

Interpretation Introduction

(f)

Interpretation:

The type of macronutrient found in a fried egg is to be stated. The decreasing order of abundance of macronutrients present in a fried egg is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Macronutrients are required in large amounts in the human body. Three types of macronutrients are necessary for the human body for the proper functioning of metabolism. The three types of macronutrients are lipids, proteins and carbohydrates.

Answer to Problem 22.6E

The macronutrient found in a fried egg is lipid.

The decreasing abundance order of macronutrients present in a fried egg is shown below.

$\text{Lipids}>\text{proteins}>\text{carbohydrates}$.

Explanation of Solution

Eggs are good source of lipid with sufficient amount of protein. The process of frying increases the concentration of lipid in egg. Therefore, fried egg is a good source of lipid.

Therefore, the decreasing abundance order of macronutrients present in a fried egg is shown below.
