What would be the protein needs of a man named Josh who exercises moderately and is the same age and size as Wayne? Josh is 5 ft, 8 in tall and weighs 183 lb. Round the number of grams to the nearest whole number. During calculations, use numbers rounded to the first decimal place.

Marine fish cells are hypotonic compared to their seawater environment; their cells lose water by osmosis and gain solutes.
