3. If you add a teaspoon of salt to a glass of water, the salt will eventually
dissolve. In an aqueous solution like this, salt is the solute and water is
the solvent. The reason salt dissolves in water is because:

4. Suppose you eat a hamburger. Your body will break down the protein of
the hamburger into amino acids and then these monomers will be
converted into proteins in our body. What reactions will your body need
in order to do this?
a. In digestion, the proteins are broken down into amino acids by
dehydration synthesis. New proteins are formed in your body
cells from these monomers by hydrolysis.
b. In digestion, the proteins are broken down into amino acids by
hydrolysis. New proteins are formed in your body cells from these
monomers by dehydration synthesis.
c. In digestion, the proteins are broken down into amino acids by
anabolism. New proteins are formed in your body cells from
these monomers by denaturation.
d. In digestion, the proteins are broken down into amino acids by
denaturation. New proteins are formed in your body cells from
these monomers by anabolism.
