Hi Dr. Dixon,  I hope you are doing well. I was wondering if we would get points off if our calorie intake from the diet assignment did not match the total energy expenditure by a significant amount? Also, on a side note, I was wondering when you were going to post the live lecture videos on Sakai, or are they already posted? If so, how do we access them?  Thank you,

Answer: Hi,   No, all of these calculations are just estimates.   The recorded lectures can be found in the Sakai Meeting Tool.   Joe Dixon

Hi, Mr. Dixon,   _____ here. I don’t have Excel, so I tried using Google Sheets to access the worksheets in the Dairy Products section. However, I am unable to access the worksheets in Google Sheets. I will do my best to try to fix this issue, but I’ll let you know if anything else comes up.   Sincerely,

Answer: You might want to use the Apple version of Excel to access them!   You have plenty of time.  Maybe call a friend for help.  Or Google this question for an answer.  Joe Dixon

Hi Professor Dixon,   Thanks! I just have 2 questions on the water-soluble vitamins quiz, 1 on question 1 and the other on question 5.

For question 1, what do water soluble vitamins do, I know in your lecture you said as a joke, it acts like little pacmans and makes you go faster, however, we also learnt that they help enzymes, carry electrons, and help with energy. So I’m a bit confused on which one of the two I should put for that question.

For question 5, I know that you said that the cell does not have buildings in it, so we shouldn’t put that answer on the exam. So for the quiz, would we just put that niacin is the cell’s power line, since it transfers hydrogens and electrons? Thanks for your help,

Answer: Hi, You have to figure out the answer to question 1.  It is pretty obvious!   Question 5  – The answer is in the PowerPoints for sure!
