Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Saturated fats are solid at room temperature. Unsaturated fats tend to be soft or liquid at room temperature and are susceptible to rancidity when exposed to light and oxygen over a long period. Poultry, freshwater fish, and all plant oils (except coconut, palm, and palm kernel oils) are high in unsaturated fat. Olive, canola, and peanut oils are high in monounsaturated fats. Safflower, sunflower, soybean, and corn oils are rich sources of polyunsaturated fats.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Major physical changes related to normal aging processes include decrease in functioning of organs, decreased reaction time, increased emotional and physical losses and decreased capacity for recovery from injury or illness
