<span>The answer is a fecal occult blood test (FOBT) that checks for hidden (occult) blood in the stool (feces) by use of a microscope.  The major disadvantage is that it is not very accurate because it is not a 100% reliable as an indicator of colorectal cancer. Sigmoidoscopy is often undertaken following a positive FOBT</span>

What three categories of energy expenditure make up the total energy expenditure? Define each briefly. For the average person, h
Ratling [72]

The categories  of energy expenditure include the following:

  • Resting metabolic rate - This is the total number of calories burned when your body is completely at rest and accounts for 60-75 percent
  • Thermic effect of feeding - This happens during feeding in which the metabolic rate increases and heat is produced and accounts for 5-15 percent
  • The thermic effect of activity -  the amount of energy burned during all physical activity and accounts for 15-30 percent.

<h3>What is Energy expenditure?</h3>

These are the processes which involves how energy is used or spent. The categories are mentioned above with their appropriate explanations.

Why does a deletion mutation usually cause more defects during protein synthesis than a point mutation?
BARSIC [14]
Answer: B

WHY?
Deletion mutation may cause a shift of base sequence, causing the reading frames for base sequence to change during translation. This may affect the type of amino acid it the original base sequence codes for, resulting in a change in amino acid sequence in the polypeptide translated. Therefore, affecting the whole protein itself. There may be wrong amino acids that prevents vital bonds like disulfide bridges to form, resulting in a huge change in 3 dimensional conformation of the protein. A point mutation may result in a gene sequence being edited. However, only the target sequence is being mutated. The rest of the gene sequences are left untouched. Therefore, the impact is localised. This ensures that even though a few wrong amino acids may be in the polyleptide, most of the bonds that are crucial for the correct 3 dimensional conformation is still present, therefore, lesser defects will be resulted due to point mutation as compared to deletion mutation.
