Certainly! Let's address each of the statements using the given chart data.
### 1. Vitamin E needs for males ages 19-30 are:
- For males ages 19-30, the Vitamin E requirement is 15 mg.
- For females ages 19-30, the Vitamin E requirement is also 15 mg.
- Since both males and females require the same amount of Vitamin E, we can conclude that the Vitamin E needs for males ages 19-30 are the same as those for females of the same age.
### 2. Only ___ require more vitamin C than males of the same age:
- For males ages 19-30, the Vitamin C requirement is 90 mg.
- For females ages 19-30, the Vitamin C requirement is 75 mg (which is less than 90 mg).
- For pregnant women ages 19-30, the Vitamin C requirement is 85 mg (which is also less than 90 mg).
- For nursing women ages 19-30, the Vitamin C requirement is 120 mg (which is more than 90 mg).
- Therefore, only nursing women require more Vitamin C than males of the same age.
### 3. The greatest number of micrograms of folate is needed by:
- For males ages 19-30, the Folate requirement is 400 µg.
- For females ages 19-30, the Folate requirement is 400 µg.
- For pregnant women ages 19-30, the Folate requirement is 600 µg.
- For nursing women ages 19-30, the Folate requirement is 500 µg.
- Since pregnant women require 600 µg of folate, which is the highest among the four groups, the greatest number of micrograms of folate is needed by pregnant women.
### 4. Nursing women's vitamin E needs are ___ those of non-nursing women of the same age:
- For nursing women ages 19-30, the Vitamin E requirement is 19 mg.
- For females (non-nursing women) ages 19-30, the Vitamin E requirement is 15 mg.
- Since 19 mg is greater than 15 mg, nursing women's vitamin E needs are higher than those of non-nursing women of the same age.
### Summary:
Using the information from the course, we can summarize our answers as follows:
1. Vitamin E needs for males ages 19-30 are the same as those for females of the same age.
2. Only nursing women require more Vitamin C than males of the same age.
3. The greatest number of micrograms of folate is needed by pregnant women.
4. Nursing women's vitamin E needs are higher than those of non-nursing women of the same age.
