Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Magnesium is essential in the regulation of sodium, potassium, and calcium homeostasis in intracellular and extracellular fluids. Excess or deficiency of magnesium can lead to detrimental alterations of these minerals in the body. Iron, zinc, and copper and essential minerals and play an essential role in maintaining health.

Answer to Question 2

C
Triglycerides are compounds made up of glycerol and three fatty acids. Glycerol plus two fatty acids is a diglyceride. Glycerol does not combine with amino acids. Triglycerides do not form in triangular chains.
