Answer:

(A) without vitamins the body could not grow

(B) without vitamins the body could not repair damaged tissue

(C) without vitamins the body could not produce energy

(D) without vitamins the body could not protect itself from infection

Explanation:

Vitamins are extremely important nutrients for our health and can be obtained from our diet. Without the necessary vitamins, our body faces a host of problems ranging from skin changes, anemia, to neurological problems, among others. Without vitamins, the body could not grow; It could not repair the damaged tissue, could not produce energy, nor could it protect itself from infection.

Vitamins are organic molecules that are obtained by our body mainly through food. Some vitamins are also produced in our body, such as vitamin D and K. Vitamin K is produced by bacteria in our intestines, while vitamin D is produced when we expose our skin to sunlight.

Healthy eating can most often ensure that all vitamins are available for the proper functioning of our body. A curious fact is that, unlike other nutrients, vitamins do not need to be ingested in large quantities..

It is noteworthy that despite the low daily need, they are also important and not eating can lead to serious health problems. It is called hypovitaminosis or avitaminosis the lack of vitamins in our body.

saveliy_v [14]
<span>If there is not enough carbohydrate available in cells to allow the acetyl-CoA to enter the citric acid cycle, it will be used to make ketones. Acetyl-CoA is a molecule that is important in some biochemical reactions involving protein lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. It function to transport an acetyl group to the citric acid cycle or the Krebs cycle for it to be oxidized for the production of energy. Ketone can be produced and is regulated from the acetyl-CoA. The rate of the production of this substance  would increase during starvation or in other words there is less carbohydrates that is available in the body.</span>
