Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
An estimated 54 of American adults use dietary supplements, primarily in the form of multivitamins with or without minerals.

Answer to Question 2

C
Insulin is a hormone, not an enzyme. It lowers blood glucose levels after a meal by causing cells to absorb glucose from the blood. Glucagon is a hormone that has the opposite effect, causing blood glucose levels to rise when they start to fall between meals. Epinephrine is another hor-mone that increases blood glucose levels in response to acute stress. Blood does not contain su-crose.
