Answer to Question 1

C
Individuals with an external locus of control do not feel they are able to control outside forces that have power over their experiences, so they may be easily influenced to eat pizza instead of a sandwich. Individuals who write and buy foods from a shopping list would be described as hav-ing an internal locus of control because they have an inner sense of their ability to guide life events. Use of organic foods and a desire to influence other people's food choices are not related to locus of control.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Fat normally supplies about half of the body's energy requirement. Yet glucose fragments are needed to efficiently and completely burn fat for energy. Without adequate glucose, fat oxidation prematurely stops at the intermediate step of ketone body formation. Fat oxidation does not go into completion without adequate glucose. Fat oxidation does not draw on the glucagon stores of the body. Fat oxidation does not stop prematurely and fat is excreted in the body's waste.
