Complete Question
Ruben Ward has been weight lifting and eating a high protein diet. Below is Ruben's profile and what he ate for a day. He entered his profile information and food intake into Diet & Wellness Plus and then pulled the Diet & Wellness Plus Reports. View Ruben’s Intake vs Goals and Macronutrient Ranges Reports and then answer the questions below. Profile for Ruben Ward 1. Age: 19 years old 2. Gender: Male 3. Height: 5 ft, 8 inches 4. Weight: 205 lbs 5. Non-Smoker 6. Activity Level: Active
Ruben has recently taken up weight lifting, and his friends at the gym mistakenly believe they should eat more protein to build muscle. The DRI for protein for healthy adults is 0.8 g per kg body weight. If Ruben weighs 205 lbs (93 kg), how many grams protein per kg body weight did he eat on this day?
a. 5.37 g/kg
b. 10.33 g/kg
c. 3.55 g/kg
d. 4.88 g/kg
Answer:
c. 3.55g/kg
Explanation:
RDI means Recommended Dietary intake. It is the required amount of a nutrient expected to be taken by an individual for optimal health.
The Recommended Dietary Intake I'd protein falls withing the range of 0.8 grams per kg to 1.8 grams per kg
For Reuben
He weighs 93 kg
If Reuben consumed 330 grams of protein, his grams of protein per kg body weight is
330 grams ÷ 93kg
= 3.55g/kg.
Answer:
d. The normal pH of human blood is already in the alkaline range.
Explanation:
The blood has an average pH between 7.35 and 7.45. Also, in blood there are some natural buffers that allows to maintain this pH does not matter the kind of food or substances that enter to our body.
If for any process the pH decreases a little bit, the body starts a process to recover the natural pH of the blood.
Cells are the smallest unit of life. This is true.
Cells are important to the structure and function of living things. This is true.
All organisms are made of multiple cells. This is false, because there are many single celled organisms like bacteria.
Cells come in different shapes and sizes. This is true, as there are cells with a variety of shape and size (round shaped cocci and the elongated and flat bacillus). There are cells from squid's nervous system, called the neurons, that are comparatively very large in size than the vast majority of the other cells.
C. Insulating the body
Insulating the body is not a function of a protein.
Lipids are macromolecules which provide insulation.
<span>A macromolecule is a large molecule. There are four groups of macromolecules: carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids and lipids. Lipids consist of glycerol and fatty acids and are constructed from fats, oils, waxes, phospholipids and steroids. A lipid's function is to insulate the body and provide warmth in cold conditions. It can be concluded that a person with very little body fat gets very cold easily and a person with a lot of body fat gets very warm very quickly.
