there are about 300 grams of protein synthesized by the body each day. how many grams are made up from the amino acids consumed in the diet?
100 grams
200 grams
300 grams

Explanation:

Step1: Recall protein - synthesis fact

The body synthesizes about 300 grams of protein daily. About one - third of the amino acids used for protein synthesis come from the diet, and two - thirds are recycled from the body's own protein breakdown. One - third of 300 grams is $\frac{1}{3}\times300 = 100$ grams.

Answer:

A. 100 grams
