(on average an amino acid is ~100 Daltons) First, we need to calculate the number of moles and multiply by Avogadro’s number (NA=6.022×1023 mol−1). An amino acid has an average mass of ~100 Daltons (Da), which is roughly equivalent to 100 g/mol. Meat is mostly protein (~20% of its weight is protein). → 500 g of meat contains approximately 100 g of protein. Since 1 mole of amino acids weighs ~100 g, there are ~1 mole of amino acids in 100 g of protein. → 1 mole is equivalent to 6.022 × 1023 molecules (Avogadro’s number). So you consume approximately 6 × 1023 amino acids in 500 g of meat.Hugoen
