Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Magnesium is essential for enzyme activities, neurochemical activities, and cardiac and skeletal muscle excitability. Spinach is a high-magnesium food. The remaining options are good sources of sodium, potassium, and calcium.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Potassium is the major electrolyte and principal cation in the intracellular compartment. It regu-lates many metabolic activities and is necessary for glycogen deposits in the liver and skeletal muscle, transmission and conduction of nerve impulses, normal cardiac conduction, and skeletal and smooth muscle contraction. Bananas are a high-potassium food. The remaining options are good sources of sodium, calcium, and magnesium.
