Answer to Question 1

Ans: A

Free radicals, formed during cellular metabolism, are molecules with separated high-energy electrons, which can have adverse effects on adjacent molecules. Antioxidants are purported to mitigate the effects of these free radicals. Neither the genetic theory, immunity theory, nor cross-linkage theory of aging directly addresses the potentially harmful effects of free radicals.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A

According to Piaget, challenging the decision making of adults is common in adolescence.
