Answer:
1. When the number of calories a person consumes is equal to the number of calories he or she burns in a day, that person's body is in Energy Balance.
2. Someone who is in Positive Energy Balance eats more calories in a day than he or she bums.
3. Negative Energy Balance occurs when the number of calories a person bums in a day is greater than the amount he or she consumes.
4. Weight management involves applying strategies that allow someone to keep his or her body weight within a healthy.
5. The Basal metabolic rate is the amount of energy uses in order to perform its basic physiological functions.
6. The Thermic effect of food refers to the number of calories burned in order to digest absorb, metabolze, and store food.
7. The Lean body mass refers to his or her total body - fat mass.
Explanation:
This group of statements are related to body weight, the balance between the energy we consume through food and all the energy we burn through excercise and different activities, such as only mantaining our body temperature and normal processes.
Answer:
Regulatory gene
Explanation:
Transcription is one of the major processes that occurs during gene expression. It is the transfer of the genetic instructions in DNA to mRNA. A strand of mRNA is made using complementary base pairs.
However, there is need for gene expression to be regulated.
Gene regulation refers to the mechanism that acts to induce or repress the expression of a gene. These include structural & chemical changes to the genetic material, binding of proteins to specific DNA elements to regulate transcription. These proteins that influences transcription by binding to specific nucleotide sequences (DNA segments/gene) are referred to as REGULATORY PROTEINS and those involved in regulating transcription of genes are called TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS.
Regulatory proteins controls the rate and manner of gene expression by binding to specific genes, thus, making it easy or hard for RNA polymerase (enzyme that attaches to DNA to synthesize mRNA molecule) to bind to the promoter of that gene.
Transcription factors (regulatory proteins) that promote gene transcription are called ACTIVATORS while those that decrease are called REPRESSORS.
