Vitamin B6 facilitates (3) _________ _______ metabolism. (4) ______________ is involved in pathways leading to the synthesis of new cells, and (5) _______________ in the release of folate in its active form, and (6) ___________ is involved in keeping the TCA cycle going by the making of oxaloacetate.

A lack of thiamin causes (7)__________. A lack of niacin (unless compensated for by its amino acid precursor (8)______________) causes (9)_______________. A lack of intrinsic factor for vitamin B12 causes (10)_____________ ________. Human deficiencies have also been observed for riboflavin, vitamin B6, and folate.

(11)___________ is widely distributed in refined grains. (12)______________ is concentrated in milk and dairy. (13)____________ is found wherever protein is found and can also be made from the amino acid tryptophan. Vitamin B6 is found largely in (14) ____________________, vitamin B12 is found naturally only in (15) _________________ products, and (16)____________ is supplied by green, leafy vegetables. Any diet plan that includes moderate amounts of all these foods ensures probable (17) ______________ for these nutrients.

Vitamin C acts as an (18)____________________. Vitamin C promotes the formation of the protein (19) ________________. Deficiency of vitamin C causes (20) ________________ . Toxic effects of mega doses (3-10 grams) have been reported. The best food sources of vitamin C are

Choices:

Riboflavin, Niacin, Thiamin, Beriberi, Vitamin B12, Biotin, Pernicious anemia, Folate, Coenzymes, Citrus, Folate, Antioxidant, Adequacy, Tryptophan, Collagen, Scurvy, Animal, Amino acid, Riboflavin, Pellagra, Meats      

Answer 1

1. Coenzyme (important non protein compund that catalyze reaction effectively)

2. Riboflavin

3.aminoacid

4. Vitamin B12 ( B12 promotes cell growth and development)

5. Folate (folic acid release activated folate which is methylated)

6. Biotin (biotin dependant pyruvate carboxylase helps in formation of oxaloacetate)

7. Beri beri

8.tryptophan

9.pellagra

10.pernicious anemia

11. Riboflavin ( grains are fortified with riboflavin)

12.thiamin ( found in dairy products mainly)

13.Niacin

14.meat

15.animal (vit b12 only found in animal products not in leafy vegetables)

16.folate

17. Adequacy (adequate amount of vitamins)

18.antioxidant

19.collagen

20.scurvy

21.citrus
