Answer to Question 1

B
Magnesium, found in intracellular fluid and in combination with calcium and phosphorus in bone, muscle, and soft tissue, is important in the metabolism of carbohydrates and proteins.

Answer to Question 2

C
Maslow's hierarchy of needs consists of five levels: physiologic, safety and security, love and belonging, self-esteem, and self-actualization. The essence of the theory is that a person's needs can be illustrated in a pyramid with the lowest-level needs forming its base. Subsequent-level needs are built upon this base, forming a hierarchical arrangement. A person's lowest-level needs must be met before the person is motivated to achieve the next level of needs; higher-level needs contribute to the individual's quality of life.
