Answer to Question 1

D
Water is an inorganic nutrient that is the major constituent in all body cells; it is considered to be the body's most important nutrient because most body functions require water. In the body, water acts as a solvent; transports nutrients, wastes, and other materials; regulates body temperature; lubricates joints; performs hydrolysis, breaking substances apart; and gives structure and form to the body as a component of all cells.

Answer to Question 2

B
Because women generally have a higher percentage of fat tissue, their metabolism is lower; during menstruation, pregnancy, and lactation, metabolism increases. Other factors influencing basal metabolism include age (e.g., growth periods increase metabolism) and glandular activity, particularly secretions of the thyroid gland.
