Answer 1

1. ANS: A. Dairy products

Explanation: The major dietary contributor of calcium in the typical American diet is dairy products.

3. ANS: a. zinc.

Explanation: Structural matrix of bones and teeth is composed by alcium, phosphorus, and magnesium.

4. ANS: c. phosphate

Explanation: Phosphate is the most abundant intracellular anion.

5. ANS: b. sodium

Explanation: High levels of sodium mineral supplementation can cause heart problems.

6. ANS: d. phosphate.

Explanation: Sodium, potassium and chloride are the body main functioning six electrolytes. Phosphate is also act as an electrolyte.

7. ANS: a. antidiuretic hormone

Explanation: The renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAS) plays a central role in sodium regulation.

8. ANS: D. 2000 mg

Explanation: one teaspoon of salt can contain 2000mg of sodium.

9. ANS: c. protein

Explanation: The bioavailability of dietary calcium was not influenced by protein.

11. ANS: a. potassium
