<u>Answer:</u>

The factor that contributes to aging is: A Cells stop dividing after 50 divisions.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Normally after 40 to 50 divisions the cells stops dividing because they had already lost too much DNA for other divisions.
  • So they eventually die, making the appearance like an aged person in any individual.
  • As DNA is copied in every cell division process, they tend to loose small part of telomeres in each transfer process.
  • Hence, after 50 divisions these cells fails to divide resulting in aging.

vodomira [7]

Answer:

D. ​provitamin.

Explanation:

A provitamin is a substance that the body can transform into an active vitamin through metabolic processes. If compared with vitamins, provitamins have no biological activity or are much lower. In other words, provitamins are vitamin precursors.

Although not very frequent, sometimes you can see the term previtamin used as a synonym.

For example, beta-carotene, the most abundant carotenoid in nature, has about one sixth of the biological activity of retinol, or vitamin A, but can be transformed into retinol in the liver by an enzymatic reaction.
