Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Empty calories allow consumers to incorporate small amounts into their eating plan and still meet nutrient needs without exceeding total calorie restraints.

Answer to Question 2

C
Older adults need more dietary vitamin D because their skin is less efficient in synthesizing vi-tamin D during sun exposure. Their ability to absorb vitamin D and convert vitamin D to its ac-tive form has less effect of vitamin D needs. They do not necessarily require more total vitamin D than younger adults for bone health; they need more from foods because their skin manufactures less.
