Answer to Question 1

Harris-Benedict equation for females:
BEE = 655 + 9.6 x wt + 1.7 x ht - 4.7 x age
= 655 + 9.6 x 44.5 + 1.7 x 162.6 - 4.7 x 21
= 655 + 427.2 + 276.4 - 98.7
= 655 + 604.9
= 1259.9 or 1260

The activity factor will very depending on your method of teaching and the student's perception but it should range between 1.3 and 1.5 . This would be equal to:
1260 x 1.3 = 1638 to 1260 x 1.5 = 1890

Answer to Question 2

A small MCV indicates a microcytic anemia.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.
