- Which statements about absorption of vitamins or minerals are true? Select all that apply. Micronutrients may be in competition for absorption with each other. Vitamins and minerals are efficiently absorbed by the body between 85% and 99% of what is consumed. To be useful for cellular function, vitamins must remain in their original chemical structure. Calcium found in plant sources is more readily absorbed than from animal sources. Absorption of some vitamins and minerals can be influenced by what sort of foods are consumed within the same meal. Submit Request Answerarrow_forwardConsider an ectotherm and an endotherm of equal body mass. Which of the following would you expect to be true? -both animals require the same amount of energy per unit mass -the ectotherm requires more daily calories from food than the endotherm -the endotherm requires less energy per unit mass but more total energy than the ectotherm -the ectotherm requires less energy per unit mass but more total energy than the endotherm -the ectotherm could survive a longer period without food relative to the endothermarrow_forwardThere are many ways that animals can maintain homeostasis. Osmoregulators are those that; Use energy to maintain a salt balance different from their environment Adapt their body to have the same salt concentration as their environment Have long limbs to absorb heat Are entirely terrestrial animalsarrow_forward
