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.

Edema results from a fluid overload rather than dehydration.
