Answer to Question 1

D
Carbohydrates, the principal energy source for all body functions, are classified as organic and energy nutrients. Carbohydrates also oxidize fats, spare protein from being used as energy, and synthesize fatty acids and amino acids. A diet deficient in carbohydrates, which causes extra fat to be metabolized to meet the body's energy needs, results in the release of ketones.

Answer to Question 2

C
Glucose metabolism depends on the availability of insulin. If insulin is unavailable, the blood glucose level will increase and the client will experience hyperglycemia.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
