(Assume average amino acid ≈ 100 Da ≈ 100 g/mol)
Upper-bound estimate: treat the 500 g as entirely amino acids.
Moles of amino acids ≈ 500 g / (100 g/mol) = 5 mol Number of molecules ≈ 5 mol × 6.02 × 10²³ molecules/mol ≈ 3.0 × 10²⁴ amino acid molecules 2) Why do humans eat beef but do not become a cow? Dietary proteins are not incorporated intact into our bodies.</description><generator>Hugo</generator><language>en</language><atom:link href="https://pages.htgaa.org/2026a/robert-sheng/homework/week-04/index.xml" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml"/></channel></rss>
