4. After consuming a meal high in fat, the _____ releases _______ to aid in digestion.

• A. stomach, acid

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The gallbladder releases bile into the small intestine to help digest fats. Bile emulsifies fats, breaking them down into smaller droplets for easier digestion. The stomach primarily releases gastric acid, the liver produces bile but stores it in the gallbladder, and the pancreas secretes bicarbonate to neutralize stomach acid in the small intestine. Therefore, choices A, B, and C are incorrect.

• B. Many teens consume energy drinks on a regular basis
• C. Teens have busy schedules and rarely drink fluids throughout the day

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because many teens regularly consume energy drinks, which can contribute to poor nutritional health due to their high sugar and caffeine content, leading to unhealthy dietary patterns. Choice A is incorrect because choosing fruit juice and milk over soda would generally be considered a healthier choice. Choice C is incorrect as busy schedules leading to inadequate fluid intake might impact hydration but not necessarily poor nutritional health. Choice D is also incorrect as consuming low-fat milk is not typically a significant factor contributing to poor nutritional health among adolescents.
