Answer:

a. vitamin d and vitamin b12

Explanation:

Vitamins are groups of organic compounds that are essential in small quantities for healthy human growth, metabolism, development, and body function. Vitamins are found in plants and animal foods or sometimes produced synthetically. Deficiencies of specific vitamins produce specific disorders. Vitamin d and vitamin b12 are important vitamins that the body needs. The body produces vitamin D when the skin is exposed to sunlight and it is very essential for strong bones, while vitamin b12 is naturally present in meats. Deficiency of vitamin d in the body can result in bone problems (including teeth) and it has also been linked to depression. Vitamin b12 deficiency can also affect mental functions by causing disorientation, memory loss, depression and confusion.  

From the question, the elderly woman may be developing a deficiency of vitamin d and vitamin b12.

Which of the following does not characterize the lungs of birds?
kompoz [17]

Answer:

C) They are compressed during inhalation.

Explanation:

Birds breathe through rigid lungs that are located in the animal's thoracic region. The trachea of birds divides into bronchi that branch inside the lungs into very thin tubes called parabronchials or parabroncholes, which are irrigated by blood capillaries that allow gas exchange.

In birds there are no pulmonary alveoli (as in mammals), but air capillaries that depart from the parabroncholes. Oxygen gas passes from these capillaries to the blood capillaries, thus causing gas exchange.

In the lower portion of the bird's trachea, before branching the bronchi, we can find the syringe, a bag-like structure that has vocal cords responsible for the birds' scream and song. Most of the time, the sound emitted by birds serves to attract the mate, mark territory and prevent birds of the same species against some predator or other danger.

1)Most of the food we eat can be influenced by whom?<br><br> 2)Food choices come from what?
Fantom [35]

Answer:

1) Hunger, savor, appetite. Three main biological reasons why we eat. Also, the economic ability to pay for the food. And the fisical capability to go and buy food, to cook.

2) Our physiological needs are the main reason why we choose food. People need energy to survive.

Everyone would like to have the possibility to eat what he wants. But food choices depend on the financial situation, social class, and preferences.

That is why poor people or people who have less money to spend on food, often eat food that can feed more people but it doesn’t have nutritional values. When people have money, they immediately have a wider spectrum of groceries that can choose from.

Explanation:

Savour is equal to enjoying. When people are not hungry they are happier. We choose what to eat depending on the look, taste, smell, texture. As sweets smell good, people consider them the most attractive food. Food is not just the source of nutrition, it is also the source of satisfaction.
