Answer to Question 1

B
Split pea soup with crackers contains complementary proteins; the incomplete legume protein in the split pea soup complements the incomplete grain protein in the crackers. Vegetables such as tomato sauce and fruit such as strawberries do not contain sufficient protein to complement another incomplete protein in a meal. Oatmeal and toast are both grains and so their incomplete proteins are not complementary. Fruit yogurt contains complete protein and does not need to be combined with an incomplete protein.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Experimental studies show that prolonged sitting suppresses lipase and insulin activity in muscles, leading to metabolic abnormalities.
