Question

question 1 of 20
identify two common shortfall nutrients.
a. carbohydrate
b. folate
c. protein
d. potassium

Explanation:

Folate (vitamin B9) is important for cell growth and DNA synthesis. Many people may not consume enough from diet (e.g., not enough leafy greens, legumes). Potassium is crucial for heart function, muscle contractions, etc. Processed foods which are high - sodium (common in modern diets) often displace potassium - rich foods like bananas, potatoes. Carbohydrates are usually consumed in sufficient amounts (e.g., grains, sugars). Protein deficiency is less common in many populations (except in some cases of extreme poverty or specific dietary restrictions).

Answer:

B. Folate, D. Potassium
