Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 5
Rationale: Dietary deficiency of riboflavin would account for the smooth, bright red tongue and sores on the client's lips. An iron-deficiency is associated with pale skin and mucous membranes. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with rickets and poor bone and teeth development. Vitamin A deficiency is associated with skin disorders such as follicular hyperkeratosis. Dietary deficiency of niacin would account for the smooth, bright red tongue and sores on the client's lips.

Answer to Question 2

D
Aerobic glycolysis occurs in the mitochondria. Anaerobic glycolysis occurs in the cytoplasm. The cell nucleus and membrane are not sites of energy metabolism.
