Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the energy needed to maintain life-sustaining activities for a specific period of time at rest. The resting energy expenditure (REE), or resting metabolic rate, is the amount of energy an individual needs to consume over a 24-hour period for the body to maintain all of its internal working activities while at rest. Nutrients are the elements necessary for body processes and function. Nutrient density is the proportion of essential nutrients to the number of kilocalories. Highnutrient density foods provide a large number of nutrients in rela-tion to kilocalories.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Somatic pain comes from bone, joint, or muscle. Visceral pain arises from the visceral organs such as the GI tract and pancreas. Peripherally generated pain can be caused by polyneuropathies or mononeuropathies. Centrally generated pain results from injury to the central or peripheral nervous system.
