Answer to Question 1

The bones serve as a repository of calcium that can be taken by or returned from the blood as needed. The blood calcium levels are held in a narrow range by the action of hormones. The body requires calcium for nerve function, muscle contraction, blood clotting, hormone secretion, and enzyme function. If the diet does not contain adequate calcium or vitamin D to keep the blood calcium levels in the necessary range, the bones will be required to release calcium to the blood. This will lead to further reduction in bone density.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
