The answer is the second one: sodium.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Potassium: Many Americans do not meet the recommended daily intake of potassium. The typical American diet is often low in fruits and vegetables, which are primary sources of potassium.
  2. Sodium: Americans generally consume more sodium than the recommended daily amount. This is largely due to the high intake of processed and restaurant foods, which are often high in sodium.
  3. Water: While individual water needs can vary, there is no widespread evidence suggesting that Americans consistently exceed the recommended daily intake of water.
  4. Fiber: Similar to potassium, many Americans do not meet the recommended daily intake of fiber. The typical diet is often low in whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, which are primary sources of dietary fiber.

Summary: Americans typically exceed the recommended daily amount of sodium due to the high consumption of processed and restaurant foods.

Why do plasma proteins typically remain in the bloodstream and not enter the tissue fluids? O Plasma proteins are too large to diffuse out of the capillaries. Plasma proteins coat the lining of the endothelium and block the membrane pores. Plasma proteins cannot pass through precapillary sphincters. Plasma proteins are hydrophobic and so remain in the bloodstream.
