Question

Which statement best explains the relationship between diet and osteoporosis?

A.
Cholesterol blocks calcium from reaching bone cells. A diet that is high in cholesterol can lead to osteoporosis.
B.
Calcium and phosphorus build strong and flexible bones. A diet that lacks these nutrients can lead to osteoporosis.
C.
Protein and iron build strong and flexible bones. A diet that lacks these nutrients can lead to osteoporosis.

Answer 1

B because bones are made out of calcium and phosphate not protein and iron

Answer 2

The correct option is B: Calcium and phosphorous build "strong and flexible bones". A diet that lacks these nutrients leads to osteoporosis.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Osteoporosis is a disease in which the quality and density of bones becomes very low.

• The bones become fragile and weak and may break very easily. People who suffer from osteoporosis often get fractures very easily; even with a soft touch to the bone.
• Osteoporosis affects the structure and strength of the bones.
