Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pattern of eating discrete rather than continuous meals requires all of the options listed. A complex system for storing nutrient reserves ensures that the body has enough energy to carry out its functions during the fasting period. A mechanism for allocating reserves during the fasting period ensures that the body does not run out of energy before the next meal. Finally, monitoring reserves helps to initiate the next meal at the appropriate time.
