Milo is a 5-year-old boy who has a potbelly, a crooked vertebral column, fragile skull, bowed legs and weak muscles. He has
been diagnosed with rickets. Milo's bones do not harden because he has low levels of vitamin D and thus cannot absorb
sufficient calcium and phosphorus from his digestive tract. His parents were told to relocate to a city with warmer climate,
and feed him vitamin D-fortified milk and cod liver oil. To speed up Milo's recovery, you are assigned to complete the
following tasks:

I am creating a medical scaffold made out of TPU to surgically implant around the pancreas for diabetic patients. The scaffold will have have capsules of islet beta cells which will diffuse into the pancreas to create a functional pancreas.
I will use the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) technique to determine the specific surface area and porosity of the scaffold material. In the context of the TPU scaffold, the BET technique will provide crucial insights into its porosity and its potential to facilitate the infusion of beta cells into the pancreas.
Can you explain the expected/ideal results from the BET test and how the test will help the design process of this medical scaffold.
Describe some general differences between fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins. no handwritten answers please
