Malnutrition is a major health problem in the world, especially for children. Mario, age 3, lives in a country where the rate of malnutrition is high. In addition to enduring the lack of food, he frequently has diarrhea, which is a major factor. He has an extreme form of malnutrition, protein malnutrition, or kwashiorkor. In Ghana, the word kwashiorkor means the sickness the older child gets when the next baby is born.
 
  Correlate the above description of kwashiorkor with the intake of protein.

Answer to Question 1

This disease appears when there is a sudden or recent lack of protein-containing foods. When a mother has a breast-feeding child and delivers another infant that is put to the breast, suddenly the older child's intake of protein is drastically reduced or stopped.

Answer to Question 2

Spores are single cells that have the ability to develop into a new organism. The wall of the spore is thick, protective, heat-resistant, and difficult to penetrate. They must be boiled 6 hours to destroy the spore, which also destroys the food source.
