Answer to Question 1

B
Gingivitis is inflammation of the gums, and dental caries is tooth decay produced by interaction of food with bacteria that forms plaque.

Answer to Question 2

B
Absorbed nutrients are carried to the liver, where major metabolic processes occur. The liver also regulates energy through its control of glucose metabolism. Glucose is the primary fuel for the body. The liver and muscles store glucose in the form of glycogen via a process called glyco-genesis.
