The estimated daily basal metabolic rate for a man who weighs 150 lb is 1636 kcal.
Basal metabolic rate is the rate of energy expenditure per unit time by endothermic animals at rest. Metabolism comprises the processes that the body needs to function. It is the amount of energy per unit time that a person needs to keep the body functioning at rest. Any increase to the metabolic weight, such as exercise, will increase the basal metabolic rate.

We can not estimate the person basal metabolic rate based on his weight only. We need other information such as age and height or the percentage of the body fat.  

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) also known as body metabolism, is the number of calories required to keep our body functioning at rest. In this state, energy will be used only to maintain vital organs, such as the heart, lungs, kidneys, nervous system, intestines, liver, lung, muscles, and skin. To get an accurate measurement, a person should be completely rested.  

There are three versions of BMR measurement, but the one that uses a lot and more accurate than the others is the Mifflin-St Jeor Equation:

<u>For men: BMR = 10Weight + 6.25Height - 5Age + 5 </u>

<u>For women: BMR = 10Weight + 6.25Height - 5Age - 161 </u>

From the formula above we can conclude that weight, height, and age affected someone BMR.

Factors that affect BMR such as:

  • Muscle mass: anaerobic exercises lead to higher BMR because it builds muscle mass.
  • Weather: Cold weather increasing the BMR because of the energy required to warm the body (homeostatic). On the other hand, hot weather also increasing the BMR because of the energy required to cool off the body.
  • Diet: a small regular diet will increase the BMR, but starvation can reduce BMR .
  • Pregnancy increases BMR

Lisa [10]
This is a normal variation due to stress of labor
The level of white blood cells in the body vary due to the amount of external stress that is placed on the body. The level indicated, 22,000/mm³ is within this range, which extends up to 30,000/mm³ for women after delivery. Because this is well within the normal range, there is no need to retest the value obtain neither is there a need to administer antibiotics.

Name to types of evidence that scientist used to support the theory of evolution?
Sergio [31]
Evidence of evolution. Scientists support the evidence of evolution because of the adaptations organisms used to have in the past compared to the present. For example, humans have organs in their bodies they don't need, but must have been used in ancient times. They can also find that humans have a common ancestor such as monkeys because of the DNA similarities and many adaptations. Hopefully this answered most of your question.

What neurons always synapse with an effector?
Archy [21]

Answer:

Efferent/motor neuron

Explanation:

Efferent/ motor neuron synapse with an effector because efferent neuron is a nerve cell such as motor neuron that transmit electrical impulses o r information from the centre nervous system to the effector which then cause or lead to physiological changes or response to the body . The contain majorly of motor neurons or nerve fiber that send signals from the central nervous system(brain /spinal cord) to the effector neuron for changes that occur physically.
