John has been living in an apartment all junior year, eating a lot of fast food. He has heard that it is "bad for you" because it is too high in calories and
too low in essential nutrients, particularly vitamin A. John looks up the nutrient composition of two of his favorite fast-food meals (see table).
1. If John chooses the Big Mac, fries, and soda, for lunch, how many micrograms of vitamin A would he be consuming? (Hint: You first need to convert
% Daily Value to micrograms of vitamin A.)
Vitamin A
Energy (% Daily
Value)
(kcal)
McDonald's Big Mac
540
Medium fries
380
0.2
oda (20 oz)
240
KFC
Fried chicken thigh and breast
690
2.6
Mashed potatoes and gravy
120
1.5
Soda (20 oz)
240
*Hint: first you need to look-up the daily Value for vitamin A: 900 µg (I just gave you the Daily Value).
For dinner, John has 2 cups of spaghetti with meat sauce, a slice of Italian bread with 1 tsp butter, and a cup of 1% milk.
2. How much vitamin A does this provide? (use iProfile to for this solution)
3.…
(A) I got the cellulase reaction rate would be the highest in the temp of 60

- What type of reaction takes place during catabolism of proteins?arrow_forwardLactose is a disaccharide made of a glucose and a galactose bonded together. Lactose is found in milk yet does not taste sweet because our taste receptors do not sense lactose. Our taste receptors do sense galactose and glucose. How can a mug of warm milk taste sweet, without adding sugar? [Select the best answer.] The activation energy required for the hydrolysis of lactose into glucose and galactose is supplied by heating the milk. The milk proteins are denatured by the heat. The reaction is endergonic so the heat is the energy required for the reaction to occur. The lactose has less free energy than the glucose and galactose.arrow_forwardRecently, consumption of trans fatty acids has been linked to high blood cholesterol levels and increased risk of heart disease. The food industry has responded by decreasing use of "trans fats." Consider the following questions: (a) How do the structures and transition temperatures of trans, cis, and saturated fatty acids differ, and what are the effects on membrane fluidity? (b) Are trans fatty acids abundant in nature? (c) The major source of trans fats is hydrogenated oils. (The trans fats are produced by a side reaction during the hydrogenation process.) Why has the food industry used synthetically produced hydrogenated oils?arrow_forward
- As you likely know, the lysosome is filled with hydrolyzing enzymes. As a result, the environment inside is held constant at a pH of 2 to protect the rest of the cell should the lysosome rupture. i. Based on our discussion of chemical reactions in class, define the term hydrolyzing. ii. Name the major class of macromolecules that enzymes belong to. iii. Based on the pH of the lysosome compared to the rest of the cell, how does the cell's proton [H+] concentration compare (i.e. is it higher or lower)? note: There are no dots or arrows associated with this model.
