Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
One factor that may contribute to the effectiveness of the DASH diet in lowering blood pressure is the potassium content. As potassium intake increases, blood pressure decreases in hypertensive and nonhypertensive people.

Answer to Question 2

B
Hormones are secreted in one place in the body and have actions in another place in the body; therefore they are a type of chemical messenger. Some, but not all, hormones are proteins. En-zymes work locally on specific classes of nutrients to change them from one form to a simpler form. Nerve impulses send messages in the body, but via electrical impulses rather than via chemicals.
