Answer:
(A) - The volume of the blood plasma increases on overhydration and decreaes on dehydration.
(B) - Osmolality of blood increases with the dehydration and decreases with the overhydration.
Explanation:
If the levels of drinking water is increased, then the plasma becomes more dilute and the plasma volume increases because <u>the water will be reabsorbed more and which as a result reduces plasma concentration of the solutes and increases volume of plasma.</u>
Plasma osmolality measures electrolyte-water balance of the body. <u>As mentioned, above on overhydration, the plasma concentration of the solutes decraeses which also decreases osmolality. So, Osmolality of blood increases with the dehydration and decreases with the overhydration. </u>Increased osmolality in blood stimulate the secretion of antidiuretic hormone which results in the increased water reabsorption and therefore, more concentrated urine and hence blood plasma with less concentration.
Answer: b. The elderly have a higher risk from toxic pesticides because they are less able to eliminate environmental toxins.
Explanation:
The older adults are expected to have health problems after a pesticide exposure. This is because of the fact that their metabolism is slow and the liver and kidneys are not able to remove the pesticides from the body. The liver and kidney may get injured during the exposure of the high doses of pesticides.
The longer a pesticide stay in the body of an old person this may result in more severe injury. As the body is slow in metabolism that is the conversion of the chemicals in the pesticides into less toxic metabolites. Thus the elderly people will not be able to eliminate the toxin from the body. The toxin will damage the vital organs and can lead to death.

Answer:
1. Product-specific information
2. Footnote with daily values
Explanation:
The objective of the “Nutrition Facts” label is to provide information that enables the consumers to have healthy eating habits, and also to improve the nutritional value of the foods. The Nutrition Facts information is required by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). This label can be divided into two parts: 1- product-specific information, which includes calories, serving size, and nutrient information, and 2- footnote with daily values for 2,000-2,500 calorie diets, which indicates the percentage of each nutrient in a single serving.
