Answer:

1. 0.8 grams

2. 51 grams

Explanation:

a. The recommended daily allowance of protein for every individual per kilogram of healthy body weight is 0.8grams. The same standard applies to Erin.

b. The recommended daily protein requirement is obtained by multiplying the body weight (in kilograms) to the Protein RDA.

For Erin, this will mean converting her weight in pounds to kilograms.

141 pounds = 63.9565kg

Recommended daily protein requirement equals

63.9565 kg * 0.8 grams

= 51.16grams approximately,

51 grams.

How are hormone levels regulated?
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The endocrine system is a tightly regulated system that keeps the hormones and their effects at just the right level. One way this is achieved is through 'feedback loops'. The release of hormones is regulated by other hormones, proteins or neuronal signals. The released hormone then has its effect on other organs.
