Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Males and females of the same age whether requires the same number of Calories for the same level of activity has to be identified and explained.
Concept introduction:
The number of Calories needed from the diet in a day depends on the age, body size, one’s level of activity and other few factors.
It has been said that growing children requires a larger energy intake.
(b)
Interpretation:
Change in the estimated Calorie requirement as an active male or female grows older has to be given.
Concept introduction:
The number of Calories needed from the diet in a day depends on the age, body size, one’s level of activity and other few factors.
It has been said that growing children requires a larger energy intake.
(c)
Interpretation:
Countries other than U.S which has the Dietary Guidelines has to be identified and the difference from those established in the U.S has to be given.

Chemistry In Context
- How are fats and oils structurally similar? How are they different?arrow_forwardWhat is meant when it says under the nutrition facts that one servingcontains 500 calories? Is it equivalent to the enthalpy of combustion of the food? Explain.arrow_forwardAn adult female goes on a diet that provides 1200 kcal per day with no more than 25% from fat and no more than 30% of that fat being saturated fat. How much saturated fat, in grams, is permitted in this diet?arrow_forward
- Food contains three main categories of compounds: carbohydrate, protein, and fat. Arctic explorers often eat a high-fat diet because fats have a high food value. The average food values for carbohydrate, protein, and fat are 4 Cal/g, 4 Cal/g, and 9 Cal/g, respectively. Consider a typical fat to have the chemical formula C18H36O2, glucose (C6H12O6) to be a representative carbohydrate, and the amino acid alanine (C3H6NO2) a building block of proteins. Express the food values given above in kJ/mol.arrow_forwardFor years we’ve been told that eating fat will cause various health problems and have been warned to eliminate it from our diet. But now we know that not all fat is the same. By understanding the difference between good and bad fats and how to include more healthy fat in your diet, you can improve your mood, boost your energy and well-being, and even lose weight. Since fat is an important part of a healthy diet, rather than adopting a low-fat diet, it’s more important to focus on eating more beneficial “good” fats and limiting harmful “bad” fats. What is their experience with the health risks associated with ‘bad fat’ intake for example obesity, diabetes, heart disease, strokes, cancer, etc.? Why is eating healthy so important? What are are recommendations for maintaining a healthy diet of ‘good fats’? What's the deal with fats?arrow_forwardRunning a mile in ten minutes burns between 100 and 120 calories for a 150-pound person. For the same run, a 200-pound person needs about 135-155 calories. In grams, how much ATP is required for this workout? ATP has a molecular mass of 507 g/mol. ATP's g-phosphate group hydrolysis has a free energy of -32 kJ/mol. One calorie is equal to 1000 calories, and one calorie is equal to 4.184 kilojoules (kJ). How much glucose do you need to fuel this run, both aerobically and anaerobically? Assume that one glucose molecule yields 30 ATP when processed aerobically. Molality of glucose is 180g/mol.arrow_forward
