Transcript text: In metabolic disorders, serious diseases, and during prenatal development, the body makes $\qquad$ amounts of conditionally essential nutrients.
adequate
excessive
inadequate
Solution
The answer is the third one: inadequate.
Explanation:
Adequate: This option would imply that the body is producing enough of the conditionally essential nutrients, which is not typically the case in metabolic disorders, serious diseases, or during prenatal development when the body's needs may exceed its ability to produce these nutrients.
Excessive: This option suggests that the body is producing more than enough of the nutrients, which is unlikely in the contexts mentioned, as these situations often involve increased demands or impaired synthesis.
Inadequate: This is the correct choice because, in metabolic disorders, serious diseases, and during prenatal development, the body's ability to produce conditionally essential nutrients often falls short of what is needed, leading to an inadequate supply.
Summary:
In the contexts of metabolic disorders, serious diseases, and prenatal development, the body typically makes inadequate amounts of conditionally essential nutrients.
