Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
Dextrose is also known as glucose. Glucose is the sugar of greatest distinction: It circulates through the blood to provide energy for body cells; it is a component of all disaccharides; it is virtually the sole constituent of complex carbohydrates; and it is the sugar to which the body converts all other digestible carbohydrates. Fructose is another monosaccharide, but it is known as fruit sugar or levulose. Maltose is a disaccharide and is not naturally found in foods.

Answer to Question 2

C
The Food Stamp Program provides coupons to buy nutritious foods for individuals and families with incomes below certain levels. This can help improve the nutritional status of economically challenged families. The other public health efforts listed are not specifically aimed at people who have an economic disadvantage.
