Meat is roughly 20% protein by weight. To find the total number of molecules, we can use the following estimation: Protein Mass: 500g × 0.20 = 100g Molar Mass: On average, an amino acid is 100 Da (which is equivalent to 100 g/mol). Moles: 100g / 100 g/mol = 1 mole Molecules: Using Avogadro’s number ($6.022 \times 10^{23}$), 500g of meat contains approximately 600 sextillion ($6 \times 10^{23}$) amino acid molecules. 2. Why don’t humans become cows or fish after eating them? When we consume protein, our digestive system does not keep the original structure intact. Instead, it breaks the long polymer chains down into individual amino acids.Hugoen
