48.0 Explanation The first step: Convert body weight in pounds to kilograms (kg) by dividing the weight by 2.2 (there are 2.2 pounds per kg). 132 pounds divided by 2.2 pounds per kg is 60.0 kg. The RDA for protein is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram (kg) of body weight.

66 Explanation • The RDA for protein is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram (kg) of body weight. For the first step, convert his weight in pounds to kilograms by dividing 182 pounds by 2.2 pounds (there are 2.2 kg per pound). He weighs approximately 82.7 kg. •For the second step, multiply his weight in kg (82.7 kg) by 0.8 g (the RDA for protein per kg of body weight). 82.7 kg × 0.8 grams of protein per kg body weight is approximately 66 grams of protein per day.
Approximately how many grams of protein per day should a healthy 24-year-old male who weighs 182 pounds consume to meet the RDA for protein for an adult who is not an athlete? (Tip: One kilogram = 2.2 pounds.) 75 54 60 66
55.6 Explanation The first step: Convert her body weight in pounds to kilograms (kg) by dividing the weight by 2.2 (there are 2.2 pounds per kg). 153 pounds divided by 2.2 pounds per kg is approximately 69.5 kg. The RDA for protein is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram (kg) of body weight. The second step: Multiply her weight in kg (69.5 kg) by 0.8 grams of protein per kg body weight. 69.5 kg X 0.8 is approximately 55.6 grams of protein per day.
Approximately how many grams of protein per day should a healthy 25-year-old woman who weighs 153 pounds and isn't an athlete consume to meet the RDA for protein? (Tip: One kilogram = 2.2 pounds.) 55.6 49.7 60.2 51.0

Hydrochloric acid is secreted in the _______. esophagus stomach large intestine small intestine
fat Explanation Without adequate carbohydrate, fats do not break down completely, but rather form ketone bodies. Production of ketone bodies causes ketosis, a dangerous condition that upsets the body's normal acid-base balance.
If your diet doesn't provide an adequate amount of carbohydrate, your body alters its metabolism of other nutrients to meet your energy needs. Insufficient dietary carbohydrate can lead to elevated levels of ketone bodies in the bloodstream. Ketone bodies result from the partial breakdown of _______. calcium vitamin D fat protein fiber
420 to 735 Explanation The AMDR for fat is 20 to 35% of total calories. If a person consumes 2100 kcal/day, 20% of 2100 kcal is 420 kcal (2100 X .20). To determine 35% of 2100 kcal, multiply 2100 kcal by .35, which is 735 kcal. Therefore, the range of fat intake is 420 to 753 kcal/day.
If your total caloric intake is 2100 kcal per day, your range of fat intake (kcal) would be _____ kcal per day, according to the Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Range (AMDR). 420 to 735 560 to 980 700 to 1400 325 to 840

The stomach is lined with a layer of mucus that protects it.
Ryan is taking nutrition class and learning about the digestive process. When he learned that after a meal, the contents of the stomach become very acidic, he wondered why the acid in the stomach doesn't digest the organ. Why doesn't the acid break down the stomach's lining and cause holes to form in the stomach's walls? The stomach produces bile, which neutralizes the acid in the stomach and protects it. The stomach contracts during peristalsis, which pushes the acid out of the stomach and protects it. The stomach is lined with a layer of mucus that protects it. The stomach produces bacteria, which denature the acid in the stomach and protect it.
Butter The liver makes bile, which is stored in the gallbladder, until a fatty food is eaten. Bile is needed for proper fat digestion and absorption.
