Nutrition Help? Questions?


Nutrition Help? Questions?I need help with two questions from my nutrition class. I've tried these twice and still have them wrong so that leaves two answers eliminated from each.


1. Blood levels of a nutrient will rise if absorption ____ or resorption ____.

a. increases, decreases (Wrong Answer)
b. decreases, increases (Wrong Answer)
c. decreases, decreases
d. increases, increases


2.Unfortunately, Nicole has kidney disease. Her blood levels of which minerals are likely to be disrupted because her kidneys cannot regulate their levels in her blood as they normally would?

a. chloride, sodium, and potassium
b. chloride, magnesium, potassium
c. magnesium calcium, phosphorous (Wrong Answer)
d. phosphorous, calcium, sodium (Wrong Answer)

I would say:
1. d
2. a (salt and potassium) but magnesium is exceted through the kidneys, so it could be b. But salt is NaCL, so if you don't excrete the Cl, then where does the Na go? Sounds like a trick question.
