Answer:

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.

Step-by-step 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.
