Andy, 52, was very surprised when his doctor told him that his blood levels of vitamin D were below normal. After all, he plays

tennis or rides a bike on most days. However, he forgot that the time for vitamin D synthesis from sun exposure is only from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM for most locations in the United States, and he does most of his activities after work. Because his sun exposure is not adequate, he has to rely more on diet and supplements for his vitamin D needs. Andy's doctor asked him to consume 600 IU of vitamin D daily, He is supposed to track his vitamin D intake from foods and take a supplement if he does not meet his daily goal. It sounded easy, but he was up for a surprise. Some foods had the amounts of vitamin D listed in micrograms, others in IU. Most supplements have the amounts of vitamin.Below is Andy's vitamin D intake from the food he consumed yesterday Low-fat Yoplait yogurt-2 μg Cheerios cereal-1 μg Coffee with milk-07μg Turkey sandwich on whole-wheat bread with large garden salad-0.4 g Grilled pork chop. 8 oz. with mashed potato and a side of gnled mixed vegetables-1.6 μgA. How many IU of vitamin D did Andy consume yesterday? B. Has Andy met his vitamin D RDA? Does he need a supplement? 1. Yes, he met his RDA and does not need a supplement.2. No, his vitamin D intake was below RDA, and he needs a supplement.C. What percentage of the vitamin D RDA did Andy eat from food?

Answer:

A. Total Vit D intake = 1150000212 IU

B. Yes he met his RDA and does not need any supplements

C. 191666702%

Explanation:

I μg = 40 IU

1 oz = 28.35 g

I g = 1000000 μg

A. Low-fat Yoplait yogurt-2 μg = 2 * 40 IU = 80 IU

Cheerios cereal-1 μg = 40 1U

Coffee with milk-07μg = 0.7 * 40 = 28 IU

Turkey sandwich on whole-wheat bread with large garden salad-0.4 g = 0.4 * 1000000 * 40 IU = 16000000 IU Grilledd pork chop. 8 oz = 28.35 * 1000000 * 40 = 1134000000 IU

mashed potato and a side of gnled mixed vegetables-1.6 μg = 1.6 * 40 = 64 IU

Total vitamin D intake = 1150000212 IU of Vit D.

B. Since his RDA is 600 IU, he met his RDA and does not need any supplements of Vit D.

C. Percentage of his RDA Vit D intake = (1150000212/600) * 100% = 191666702 %

you are given samples of the substances shown in the table the samples are labeled a b c at room temperature sample a is a solid
Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

The sample a which is solid at 20°C is "Iodine"

The sample b which is liquid at 20°C is "Bromine"

The sample c which is gas at 20°C is "Chlorine"

Explanation:

Iodine : It starts melting at 113.7°C, so the solid sample found is the iodine. Iodine is present in both solid as well as in vapor state.  Basically it is kept in closed jars. Only when it reaches the temperature above the melting point is starts melting.

Bromine: It is a non metallic element that is present in the liquid state, being a member of halogen group. It is heavy, mobile and dangerous reddish brown liquid. It is corrosive in nature, when comes in contact with human tissue and causes irritation in eye when comes in contact with its vapor.

Chlorine: In room temperature it is gas, as it has weak intermolecular interaction which fails to keep the molecules closely attached.

Organic molecules are sometimes found within meteorites that crash into Earth. Which meteorite condition in space is similar to
nevsk [136]

The presence of inorganic molecules is the meteorite condition in space similar to what was likely present in Earth's early atmosphere.  

The earth initial atmosphere in its early form was too reducing and it was made up entirely of gases such as carbon monoxide, ammonia, methane, nitrogen and other gases.

This atmosphere did not have free oxygen, since it was the result of the mixture of metals, hydrogen and other chemical elements.

The high temperatures, ultraviolet rays and electrical discharges in the early atmosphere would have caused chemical reactions of the elements to form primitive organic molecules.

Meteorites are fragments of solid matter that contain a record of the chemical substances that existed in the early Solar System.

The most predominant gases still found in the space are hydrogen and helium.

Therefore, we can conclude that hydrogen and the presence of inorganic molecules are the initial elements that make up the Earth's early atmosphere and that they are conditions that are present in the space and so in the formation of meteorites.

In direct calorimetry, a person is placed in a large, water-insulated chamber. The chamber is kept at a constant temperature. Wh
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

Although direct calorimetry is considered to be the most precise technique for the measurement of metabolic rate, construction of such a chamber that is large enough for doing exercise physiology research (or any research for that matter) is extremely expensive and not at all mobile.

Explanation:

Direct calorimetry measures the heat production of an individual, in calories, when placed in an insulated chamber where the heat is transferred to surrounding water. This is a very accurate method of measuring energy expenditure.
