Answer:The storage is needed for   Red blood cell productions, and development of the foetus neural tube into the spinal cord and brain.

Its synthetic form is a  B vitamin called FOLIC ACID. This is  rich in fortified cereals. Folate is found in dark green vegetable and citrus naturally.

Basically. birth defects, occurs 3-4 weeks of pregnancy. Therefore, enough folate should be taken prior to this period and during pregnancy when the brain and spinal cord are developing to avoid birth defect.

The common defects from folate deficiency is NEURAL TUBE DEFECT. It is a deformity  caused by lack of neurulation during stages of formation of embryo. Because folate is essential for development of central nervous system its   deficiency affected the normal transformation of neural plate into neural tube (neurulation )in stages of brain and spinal cord developments, and therefore the defect.

Answer:

1. Saturated Fat

2. Sodium

3. Potassium

Explanation:

Potassium in high doses can lead to heart attacks or death.

But Saturated fat leads to cholesterol buildup in the arteries and that means more risk for heart illnesses and strokes.

High sodium can lead to high blood pressure. But some recent research finds that we don't really know how much sodium is too much for healthy people since some people really overconsume sodium and are not experiencing blood pressure complications.

And lastly, cholesterol from food has no significant effect on our own cholesterol.
