Answer to Question 1

C
Peristalsis makes swallowing possible as involuntary movements of circular and longitudinal muscles move food along the esophagus from the mouth to the stomach. Chewing is accom-plished by jaw muscles and is not related to peristalsis. Peristalsis helps move food along the ga-strointestinal tract to the places where digestion of each nutrient takes place, but does not make digestion itself possible. Smell and taste are not related to peristalsis.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Carbohydrates, in the form of fiber, may be useful in reducing cholesterol levels. Carbohydrates are necessary as an energy source for the body and a balanced diet should include about 50 carbohydrates. A sweet food has carbohydrates, but that does not mean that it has too many carbohydrates; a peach and sweet potatoes have carbohydrates, but only the peach is sweet to taste. There are many reasons for sickness, but excess carbohydrate consumption is not among them.
