Final answer:
We cannot determine if Tony's protein intake exceeded 150 without additional information. The quaternary structure does not always reveal a protein's function, and 'recycled' amino acids refer to their reuse after protein breakdown.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is not possible to determine if Tony's protein intake exceeded 150 based solely on the information provided. The question seems to be part of a standardized test or worksheet, where an earlier question or section would provide the necessary context to answer this question correctly. To assess Tony's protein intake, one would need data on the amount of protein in grams that he consumed within a given time period. Without this specific information, one cannot accurately respond to the question.
In regard to the supplemental questions from LibreTexts™, question number 12 is regarding protein quaternary structure. It's worth mentioning that the quaternary structure of a protein is the assembly of several protein molecules or polypeptide chains, which are often referred to as subunits. However, you cannot always tell the function of all proteins from their quaternary structure alone, as the function is also influenced by primary, secondary, and tertiary structures.
In reference to question number 13, when amino acids are described as being 'recycled', it means that when proteins are broken down in the body, the amino acids that are released can be used to build new proteins or to be part of other metabolic processes.
