The meal that the scientists provided to each of the volunteers at t = 10 hours contained five eggs weighing 50 g each. Approximately how much methionine was served to each volunteer?

The provided question is incomplete as it lack essential information and the option however the complete question with correct option are given below:

Egg provides 400 mg of methionine per 100 g of weight.

The meal that the scientists provided the volunteers at t = 10 hours contained five eggs weighing 500 g each. Approximately how much methionine was served to each volunteer? A. 10 mg, B. 1 x 104 mg, C. 3 x 104 mg, D. 6.25 x 105 mg

The correct answer is option B. 1 x 104 mg.

Explanation:

This question is provided the information that an egg gives 400 mg/100 g of the weight. One can calculate methionine that was served to the volunteers as given below:

So, an egg provides 400 mg of methionine per 100 g of weight.

5 eggs = 500 g each weighs in at 2.5 kg total (5 egg x 500 g/egg = 2,500 g).

2,500 g x (400 mg Met/100 g weight) = 10,000 mg = 1.0 x 104 mg

Thus, the correct answer is option B. 1.0 x 104 mg.
