Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C
Dietary sources of omega-3 include fatty fish, such as salmon, tuna, mackerel, and lake trout, as well as nuts, seeds, and oils; flaxseed oil contains the highest amount of total omega-3 fatty acids. Steak does not contain omega-3.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D, E
Deficiencies of vitamin C interfere with normal tissue synthesis and may result in gingivitis, which produces swollen and bleeding gums with loosened teeth, and painful, stiff joints. Other problems associated with malabsorption include anemia (a deficiency of red blood cells), excessive bleeding, petechiae (bleeding under the skin), poor wound healing, and neural tube defects. Osteopenia results from poor absorption of calcium.
