Discussion
Mark the correct statement about vitamins:
(a). These are organic compounds required in small quantities for optimal health.
(b). It enhances the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and fats.
(c). Vitamins are required for growth in children, formation of hormones, blood cells, tissues and bones.
(d). All Vitamins can be synthesised/produced by the human body.
Answer: A
Statements a, b and c are correct, so the answer is a,b and c.
(a) Vitamins are organic compounds needed in small amounts for normal health. (b) Many act as coenzymes; the B vitamins in particular are needed to metabolise carbohydrates, fats and proteins. (c) They are needed for growth and for forming blood cells, bones and tissues; vitamin D, for example, is essential for bone formation in children.
(d) is false. Most vitamins must come from food. The body makes only a few, such as vitamin D in skin exposed to sunlight, and vitamin K and some B vitamins are made by gut bacteria. So any option including d is wrong, and 'a only' leaves out two true statements.
