Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Eighty grams of protein provides approximately 13 g of nitrogen. The total amount of protein consumed (in grams) is divided by 6.25 because protein is 16 nitrogen by weight (80 g  6.25 = 13 g).

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Sugar-sweetened beverages are linked to obesity. The lack of satiety from liquid sugar may contribute to a positive calorie balance. They also displace the intake of more healthful beverages.
