Answer to Question 1

C
The size of this age group is expected to double between 2000 and 2040 . More people celebrate their 85th birthday than babies are born daily.

Answer to Question 2

C
Functional proteins help the body carry out activities vital to life. They include hemoglobin, which moves oxygen through the body; myosin, which functions in muscle contraction; and insulin, which is a hormone involved in the control of glucose metabolism. Functional proteins may come from either plant or animal sources and may contain essential and nonessential amino acids. Response B is also incorrect: structural proteins make up hair, tendons, muscle, and skin.
