DNA is bound together by covalent bonds between different molecules. It also contains proteins, which again are held together in their specific structures by covalent bonds. 

Covalent bonds may be broken when high temperatures are applied. The temperatures that a food encounters during the cooking cause the DNA to be denatured, meaning it cannot be extracted. The same occurs with other proteins such as enzymes and antibodies.

Answer:

True. You can get vitamin A as "preformed vitamin A" which is already active and/or you can get vitamin A as carotenoids which the body can turn into active vitamin A.

Explanation:

There are two different types of vitamin A that can be obtained from food:

1.  Preformed vitamin A, which is already active, is found in animal products such as beef, fish, poultry and dairy products.

2. Provitamin A, which is the inactive form, is found in plant-based foods, such as fruits and vegetables. The most common type of provitamin A is β-carotene, which is a carotenoid that the body can turn into active vitamin A via an enzyme named β-carotene 15,15'-monooxygenase.
