Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Toddlers need about 30 to 40 of their daily calories from fat to promote growth and development. The fats should come from healthy sources like monounsaturated oils, fish, or reduced fat milk. Trans and saturated fats should be avoided. Obesity can be avoided by providing time for regular activity and modeling healthy eating.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
There are multiple differences between fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins. Fat-soluble vitamins are stored, primarily in the liver and adipose tissue. The remainder choices are true of water-soluble vitamins.
