Answer to Question 1

D
Gastrin is a hormone that increases the release of gastric juices in response to stomach distension. The hormone that allows glucose to enter cells is insulin. Gastrin is not an enzyme, although it does stimulate secretion of gastric juices that contain enzymes. Gastrin does not have a role in reproductive functions.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approves non-nutritive sweeteners. Non-nutritive sweeteners have been used for years; however, they have been and continue to be scrutinized for safety and risks. They may be used by children, for example in sugar-free beverages.
