Answer:

Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome.

Explanation:

Autonomic dysfunction refers to disorders of autonomic nervous system function. Autonomic nervous system imbalances or autonomic dysfunction happens when nerves of autonomic nervous system are damaged. It can range from mild to life-threatening. It can affect entire autonomic nervous system or a part of it. Parkinson's disease and diabetes can lead to autonomic dysfunction. Dizziness, sweating abnormalities, digestive difficulties, exercise intolerance etc are some of the symptoms. It can be helped by prescription medication and lifestyle changes.

Explain its normal role and why scientists would regard it as the "guardian of the genome."

Burka [1]

The gene p53, also called the guardian of the genome is located on the 17th chromosome in human genomes.
It was given this alternative name because it has a role in response to damage of DNA molecule and in preventing cancer.
The protein product of this gene stops the replication of damaged DNA, activates proteins that repair the DNA damage and if the reparation proteins fail to fix the damage it activates the process of apoptosis or so-called cell death in order to prevent the damaged cell to proliferate and potentially develop into a tumor.

Use the Harris-Benedict equation to estimate your calorie needs. Show your calculations to explain how you arrived at your answe

Ratling [72]

Answer:

The Harris Benedict Equation is a formula that determines the total daily energy expenditure (calories) using BMR with some activity factors.

Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) is defined as the amount of calories one would burn without doing anything for 24 hours. It uses variables of weight, age, height and gender to calculate BMR.

BMR calculation = 447.593 + (9.247 x weight in kg) + (3.098 x height in cm) - (4.330 x age in years)

In Harris Benedict Equation, BMR is multiplied by activity factor to determine calories need.

The activity factors in Harris Benedict Equation are:

for no exercise = 1.2

exercise for 1 to 3 days/week or light exercise = 1.375

exercise for 3-5 days/week or moderate exercise = 1.55

exercise for 6-7 days a week or hard exercise = 1.725

exercise for 2 times training = 1.9

So, calculation for my calorie needs is as following:

BMR = 447.593 + (9.247 x 50 kg) + (3.098 x 164.592 cm) - (4.330 x 23 in years) = 974.945

Calorie needs = BMR x 1.55

= 974.945 x 1.55

= 1511.16 calories
