Marasmus describes what form of malnutrition?
Marasmus describes a severe form of protein-energy malnutrition that results from inadequate intake of calories and nutrients over an extended period of time. It is characterized by extreme wasting and loss of muscle mass, often leading to severe physical and developmental impairments, particularly in children.
Why does an insertion mutation usually cause more defects in protein synthesis than a point mutation?
Insertion mutations can affect many amino acids in the protein.An insertion mutation usually causes more defects during protein synthesis than point mutation because an insertion mutation will affect many amino acids in the protein.

What is the diseases caused by the deficency of proteins?
Protein deficiency can lead to conditions such as kwashiorkor and marasmus, which are forms of malnutrition characterized by severe protein-energy deficiency. These conditions can result in symptoms like muscle wasting, weakened immunity, stunted growth, and impaired organ function. It is important to consume adequate amounts of protein to maintain overall health and well-being.
If one of the nitrogen bases were replaced by a different base what effect might that have on protein synthesis?
It depends. Because many amino acids have more than one codon, it may not affect the protein at all. However, if it does change the amino acid sequence, it could cause a change in the three-dimensional structure of the protein, resulting in a mutation.
Edema appears when there is a severe lack of dietary protein because?
Blood protein levels fall and fluid shifts to the tissues.
What is the relationship between PKU and protein?
PKU is characterized by the inability to convert the amino acid phenylanine into the amino acid tyrosine. If dietary intake persists then symptoms as severe as brain damage could ensue. Amino acids ,like phenylanine and tyrosine, are the building blocks of protein.
What are the main concerns of a liquid protein diet on health?
Liquid protein diets can work, but not without some severe consequences. A liquid diet can cause bowel damage, and upset your stomach because our bodies are designed to process solid foods. Also, too much protein in the diet can damage the kidneys.
What term indicates the protein status of a client with a severe burn?
Negative nitrogen balance
Why does death occur faster with liver failure compared to kidney failure?
Because liver is more important, more severe. It has any range of functions, including detoxification, protein synthesis, and
How do you know when your pit bull not feeling will?
When he/she appears sad. They may have minor to severe nausea and vomiting
What is the disease caused by lack of protein and carbohydrates?
A disease caused by lack of all macronutriets (carbohydrates, fats, and protein) is kwashiorkor. Symptoms include a swollen abdomen, cracking and scaly skin, and reddish hair. The mortality is about 60% and it also affects a person's physical and mental development.Another related disease is Marasmus. Marasmus is caused by a lack of protein. This is generally less severe than Kwashiorikor.
What is the prognosis for patients with severe heart failure?
Most patients with mild or moderate heart failure can be successfully treated with dietary and exercise programs and the right medications.
What would happen to the body if no sodium is taken?
A no protein and no sodium diet is next to nonexistent because so many necessary foods contain at least trace amounts of protein. This diet is defined as the reduction of protein in the diet to reduce stress on certain diseased organs. Low sodium is important for the prevention of certain health problems, and a reduction in this mineral is less harmful to the body than a severe reduction in protein.
Are there any different characteristics regarding Marasmus and Kwashiorkor?
Marasmus is a condition involving both severe protein deficiency and markedly inadequate intake of calories. Kwashiorkor is a condition involving severe protein deficiency, but in the context of sufficient or only mildly deficient intake of carbohydrates and calories, overall.
What is the disease that presents a severe rash on an infant of which appears to be skin burns with areas of skin beginning to peel off?
Eczema
The 3 major forms of severe malnutrition?
Kwashiorkor - when the diet is deficient in protein but contains adequate calories. which are derived mainly from carbohydrates.Marasmus - when the diet is low in both protein and calories.I'm not sure what they are looking for as the third.
