When a diet is chronically low in both proteins and calories the condition is called?
When a diet is chronically low in both proteins and calories, the condition is called malnutrition, specifically protein-energy malnutrition (PEM). This can lead to serious health issues, including stunted growth in children, muscle wasting, weakened immune function, and increased susceptibility to infections. The two main forms of PEM are kwashiorkor, characterized by edema and a distended abdomen, and marasmus, marked by severe weight loss and muscle wasting.
What else can I help you with?
Why are calories called calories?
Calories are called calories because Dr.calor made them and added an 'ies'
What is Athrepsia?
Athrepsia is extreme debility in children caused by malnutrition. Children are undernourished due to a deficiency in protein and calories. This condition is also called marasmus.
What is the condition of red blood cells that appear like stacked coins?
The condition of red blood cells stacked like coins is known as Rouleaux formation. This is a reversible phenomenon often seen in conditions with high levels of acute-phase proteins, such as inflammation or infection, where the proteins cause the red blood cells to stick together.
The condition that produces inhibition at a synapse is called what?
Neurotransmitters diffuse across the synaptic cleft (a very short distance) and bind to receptor proteins on the postsynaptic membrane. Excitatory neurotransmitters cause sodium ions to move through receptor proteins depolarizing the membrane. Inhibitory neurotransmitters do not depolarize the postsynaptic membrane. Thus, the condition that would produce inhibition at synapse is called HYPERPOLARIZATION.
What are the proteins used in active transport called?
Proteins used in active transport are called transport proteins. These proteins are responsible for moving molecules or ions across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, requiring energy in the form of ATP.
Calories from food like soda and ice cream are called?
Empty calories.
How are cells able to produce the proteins required by certain conditions?
Cells produce proteins required for specific conditions through a process called gene expression. When a certain condition arises, signaling pathways activate specific genes, leading to the transcription of DNA into messenger RNA (mRNA). This mRNA is then translated by ribosomes into proteins that carry out functions necessary for the cell to adapt to the changes. Additionally, post-translational modifications can further tailor these proteins for their specific roles in response to the condition.
What are 'first class proteins'?
animal proteins are called first class proteins.
How many calories in smithwicks?
It's called Google... 150 calories
The energy stored in food is measured in units called?
Calories. Actually the unit called Calorie in food energy is the Kilocalorie, ie 1000 calories.
What are proteins that are pathogens called?
Proteins that are pathogens are called antigens. These antigens can trigger an immune response in the body, leading to the production of antibodies to fight off the pathogen.
Proteins and polymers of molecules called?
proteins and polymers of molecules are callled ?
