indicate whether each of the foods listed is considered a good source of calcium. -Low-fat meat and poultry

What is false anemia?

indicate whether each of the foods listed is considered a good source of calcium. -Lactase-treated milk and milk products

The majority of women in the U.S. consume an insufficient amount of dietary calcium.

Minerals are usually absorbed better when food is present in the gastrointestinal tract.

How does the dietary intake of zinc by endurance athletes typically compare to the Dietary Reference Intake (DRI)?

Match the mineral with the most appropriate food source. Use each answer only once. -Iron

Iron-deficiency anemia in female athletes is associated with a prolonged low caloric intake and high energy expenditure.

Trabecular bone has a higher rate of metabolic activity and turnover than cortical bone.

indicate the effect that each of the following factors has on mineral absorption. -Sugars such as lactose (for calcium):

Athletes should not use the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI) because most athletes experience large losses of minerals in sweat, blood, or urine.

Which athlete is likely to have above-normal bone mineral density?

Match the mineral with the most appropriate food source. Use each answer only once. -Calcium

When the body is deficient in a mineral it increases absorption of that mineral to 100 percent until the deficiency state is reversed.

Match the mineral with the most appropriate food source. Use each answer only once. -Zinc

When iron-deficiency anemia is present, aerobic capacity declines and subsequently increases with iron supplementation.

Bone-forming cells are known as:

Why is iron not well absorbed from the intestinal tract?

Compare and contrast minerals based on their source-naturally occurring in food, added to foods during processing, and found in supplements.

Iron-deficiency anemia negatively affects performance.
