Answer 1

1) False, Marasmus is a severe protein, fat and carbohydrate deficiency.

2) False, Large Intestine is shorter and wider than small intestine.

3) False, Prokaryotic cells have smaller ribosomes.   ( Prokaryotic cells undergo rapid cell division so need more lipoproteins, thus they have ribosomes that are smaller in size, to provide maximum surface area and more in number for rapid protein synthesis.)

4) True

5) True
