Answer to Question 1

D
Polyunsaturated fatty acids have two or more double bonds on the carbon chain. Fatty acids with one double bond on the carbon chain are monounsaturated; those with no double bonds are satu-rated. Polyunsaturated fatty acids are vulnerable to oxidation, but this is not part of their struc-ture.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
HIV-related wasting syndrome is identified as an unintentional weight loss of more than 10 of baseline weight plus either diarrhea or chronic weakness and fever for more than 30 days without a known cause.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
