Conceptual Questions
How many amino acid molecules are in 500 g of meat? Ans: Average amino acid ≈ 100 Daltons (100 g/mol)
500 g ÷ 100 g/mol = 5 moles 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules So, 5 × 6.022 × 10²³ ≈ 3 × 10²⁴ amino acid molecules Why do humans eat beef but do not become a cow, eat fish but do not become fish? Ans: When we eat beef or fish, our body breaks proteins into amino acids during digestion. Then we rebuild them into human proteins, not cow proteins.</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><lastBuildDate/><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/likhitha-narapureddy/homework/week-04-hw-protein-design-part-i/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
