  1. This vitamin is involved with the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Rarely is there a deficiency of this vitamin because as the name suggests it is "widespread" in the food supply.

    Biotin

    Vitamin K

    Folate

    Pantothenic acid

  2. Which of the following is not one of the functions of vitamin C?

    Protects against infections

    Involved in production and maintenance of collagen

    Is a component of insulin

    Promotes the absorption of iron

  3. The treatment to this deficiency disease was accidentally discovered when the discarded brown coat of rice was given to chickens as scraps and then the attendant noticed the chickens did not walk stiff and weak following this diet. Alcoholics' staggering gait and jerky eye movements are the result of not being able to absorb the vitamin; usually a shot of this vitamin is given to those in rehabilitation programs. It is:

    Thiamin B1

    Riboflavin B2

    Ascorbic acid C

    Vitamin K

  4. Sulfur, a mineral that forms bridges between amino acids and provides the rigid shape of nails and hair, is adequate in a diet that contains sufficient:

    Fat

    Protein

    Carbohydrate

    Vitamins

  5. Which of the following minerals is part of the digestive acid that maintains the low pH of the stomach?

    Heme

    Chromium

    Copper

    Chloride

  6. The following minerals are all involved in red blood cell (RBC) formation and utilization except:

    Zinc

    Copper

    Iron

    Fluoride

Solutions

Expert Solution

#Biotin: for carbohydrate synthesis and metabolism

Vitamin K: fir blood clotting mechanism

Folate: fir cell division in the body

Pantothenic acid: the carbohydrates,protein and the fats in the body are metabolisef and synthesized out of it.

Ans: Pantothenic acid

#Vitamin C is essential to fight any infection, collagen formation in the bones and tissue,it aids in absorption of iron .These options are correct

It is not a component of insulin becuase insulin is a hormone

Ans: It is a component of insulin

#The patients who are alcoholic or in rehabilitation center will experience vitamin B1 deficiency called as thiamine.So this is used in rehabilitation center for treatment purposes.

Riboflavin, ascorbic acid and vitamin K are not directly related and their symptoms are different from the deficiency of thiamine

Ans: Thiamine B1

#Sulphur is a micronutrients which ch can be generally consumed by taking adequate vegetables which contains vitamin like B1.

The carbohydrates provides energy

Protein is needed for body rejuvenation

Fats can also provide and store energy

Ans: Vitamins

#The low pH of the stomach is maintained by hydrochloric acid

Heme is needed to produce red blood cells

Chromium needede for function of certain vital organs

Copper is involved innthe production of RBC

Ans: Chloride

#Zinc ,copper and iron are needed for RBC formation or production

Fluoride is needede for bone formation.so it is not involved in RBC production

Ans: Fluoride

Biological compounds such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are thermodynamically unstable in the presence of O2, since, upon combustion, they will undergo exothermic reactions with O2 to form CO2, H2O and other simple and stable compounds.

We classify foods into three groups based on their chemical compositions: Carbohydrates, Proteins, and Fats. The digestive and absorptive process differs among these groups due to their chemical structures. For each of these macromolecules: 1) Come up with an example of each -- what's your representative food item of carbohydrate, protein, and fat. 2) Identify their chemical structures for monomer unit, and the macromolecule polymer.   3) Determine the digestive reaction that splits the macromolecule into monomers: starch into glucose units;...
