Answer: a. Excesses are eliminated from the kidneys.

Explanation:

A fat-soluble vitamin can be dissolved in fats and oils. They are absorbed along with fats in the diet from the intestinal lumen using the same mechanisms used for absorption of lipids. Upon absorption, <u>these vitamins enter the lymph vessels</u> before making they go into the bloodstream. In most cases, fat-soluble vitamins must be coupled with a protein in order to be transported through the organism. <u>This means they are solubilized and transported by carrier proteins </u>to exert their actions.

By last, since fat-soluble vitamins can not be dissolved in water,<u> they are not readily excreted. So they can accumulate in fatty tissues</u> to toxic levels if taken in excess.

What protein (purine)-rich food should be limited to prevent a reoccurrence of uric acid kidney stones? what protein (purine)-ri
Nataliya [291]

Answer:

Eggs

Explanation:

Uric acid stones are one of the four types of kidney stones which are formed due to the high amount of uric acid in the human body.

When the concentration of the uric acid increases in the urine due to which urine becomes acidic, the uric acid gets stored in the urinary pathway in the form of stones.

To remove the uric acid kidney-stones, the food rich in purines must be avoided like meat, eggs and green vegetables like mustard, spinach, and whole grains are suggested.

Thus, the egg is the correct answer.
