Answer to Question 1

A
The amino groups in amino acids contain nitrogen. Amino acids do not contain potassium, iron, or sodium.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 4
Rationale: Symptoms of dehydration can include sudden weight loss, increased heart rate, confusion, tachycardia, and hypotension. The elderly are at an increased risk for dehydration due to blunted thirst perceptions. The recommended fluid intake for females is 2.7 L/day. Edema results from a fluid overload rather than dehydration.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
