Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The Vitamin which acts as a water-soluble antioxidant has to be stated.
Concept introduction: Some vitamins are fat soluble and some are water soluble. Water soluble vitamins are B and C. All of the B vitamins serve as precursors for enzyme cofactors. Vitamin C is not an enzyme cofactor precursor.
(b)
Interpretation: The Vitamin which acts as a fat-soluble antioxidant has to be stated..
Concept introduction: Fat soluble vitamins are A, D, E and K and rest all vitamins are water soluble. Fat soluble vitamins can act as anti oxidants.
(c)
Interpretation: The Vitamin which is involved in process of vision has to be stated.
Concept introduction: Normal dietary intake provides a person with the precursor forms of vitamin A. Vitamin A provides visual pigment rhodopsin. The conversion of light energy into nerve impulses that are sent to the brain involves the participation of rhodopsin.
(d)
Interpretation: The Vitamin which is involved in the formation of collagen has to be stated.
Concept introduction: Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin. It is involved in the formation of collagen.
