Oxidative stress is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants. Free radicals are molecules that contain oxygen with an uneven number of electrons. Antioxidants are responsible for giving the free radical an electron to stabilize it and make it become less reactive. Our bodies can be exposed to oxidative stress through radiation from the ultraviolet light. It can be exposed through cigarette smoke. As well as being exposed through pollution in the air and water.

Oxidative stress is an imbalance between free radicals and antioxidants in your body. Free radicals are oxygen-containing molecules with an uneven number of electrons. The uneven number allows them to easily react with other molecules. Free radicals can cause large chain chemical reactions in your body because they react so easily with other molecules. These reactions are called oxidation. They can be beneficial or harmful.

Antioxidants are molecules that can donate an electron to a free radical without making themselves unstable. This causes the free radical to stabilize and become less reactive.

Read on to learn how oxidative stress affects the body and how to manage and prevent this imbalance.

Answer:Late-onset menarche

Explanation:

If the clients mentions late onset menarche as risk factor associated with endometrial cancer that means the client still needs to be educated more on the risk factors associated with the uterus cancer.

Early-onset, not late-onset, menarche is a risk factor for endometrial cancer. A high-fat diet, hypertension, and obesity are however all the risk factors

Late on set menarche is a late stage of starting puberty and endometrial cancer is associated with starting periods earlier or continuing your period beyond or after your menopause.

Explain why homeostasis is so important to the body.
Ket [755]
Homeostasis is the regulation of internal body conditions such as temperature, sugar levels in blood, salt content etc. Without it many functions would become non-functional. If you take temperature for example without the control of our internal body temperature many metabolic reactions (enzyme-controlled reactions) would stop/ slow down. If the temp gets too high the enzymes denature and you wouldn't get an enzyme-substrate complexes forming. If the temp is too low the enzymes have a low kinetic energy and so don't collide with the substrate as much as at normal body temp. pH has similar affect but a change in pH will always denature enzymes.
