Question

  1. the antioxidant that may lower risk for prostate cancer is:

lysine
leucine
lycopene
loucane

  1. the immune system function is affected by:

inadequate protein intake
excessive protein intake
inadequate antioxidant intake
inadequate protein intake and excessive protein intake
inadequate protein intake and inadequate antioxidant intake

Explanation:

Question 7
Brief Explanations

Lycopene is an antioxidant (found in tomatoes, etc.) and research suggests it may reduce prostate cancer risk. Lysine and Leucine are amino acids, and Loucane is not a recognized antioxidant related to prostate cancer risk.

Brief Explanations

Inadequate protein intake can impair immune cell production/function. Inadequate antioxidant intake can lead to oxidative stress that harms immune cells. Excessive protein intake generally doesn't directly affect immune function (unlike inadequate or antioxidant issues). So both inadequate protein and inadequate antioxidant intake affect immunity.

Answer:

C. Lycopene
