Answer: the best statement is 1 (Vitamin B12 (cobolamin) is missing from the vegan diet and very low in the lactovegetarian diet.)
Explanation:
Vitamin B12( cobalamin) is a water soluble vitamin that is essential in the formation of red blood cells. It also serves as a coenzyme in the metabolic reaction of the body. Such reaction includes:
- the remethylation of methionine from homocysteine which is catalyzed by methionine synthase and requires methylcobalamin.
The deficiency of vitamin B12 can lead to the following:
- elevated homocysteine ,
- an increase in methylmalonate
This is due to deficiencies in methionine synthase and methylmalonic acid mutase, respectively in individuals on vegan diet for several years.
Vegans are vegetarians that don't include diary or animal products in their meals. This predisposes them to lack of Vitamin B12. Dairy products provide some vitamin B12 in the lactovegetarian diet. Therefore statement 1 is the correct answer, thanks.
Physical and chemical changes are reversible and nonreversible changes. The release of carbon dioxide gas indicates a chemical change.
<h3>What is a chemical change?</h3>
A chemical change is a change in which a new substance is produced when the reactants react in the reaction mixture. The chemical produced cannot be reversed back to the reactants and hence, it is nonreversible.
The release of carbon dioxide is a chemical change as limestone and hydrochloric acid react with each other chemically and as a result, a new substance was formed.
Therefore, the production of carbon dioxide indicates a chemical change.
