Answer to Question 1

A
Tea contains oxalic acid and tannins, both of which decrease absorption of calcium. Milk con-tains lactose and vitamin D which increase calcium absorption. Orange juice and bottled water do not have a significant positive or negative effect on calcium absorption.

Answer to Question 2

2 Rationale: Children have a greater surface area relative to their body mass when compared to adults. They lose and gain heat more easily than adults. Children produce more heat during exercise than adults and they are unable to sweat as much. Sweating allows for heat dissipation. Children don't necessarily always have higher body temperatures than adults. Heat can be dissipated with breathing, but sweating is the best way to dissipate heat.
