Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The free radical theory of aging attributes damage to the accumulation of free radicals that may be countered by the intake of antioxidants. This is not an explicit component of the disposable soma or cross-linking theory of aging. Biogerontology is the study of the relationship between aging and disease.

Answer to Question 2

A
A possible complication that should be addressed at the time of the burn is infection in the wound.
