Question

20. Match the molecule on the left with the organ responsible for generating it on the right. Note: please enter ONLY one letter (A-C) per answer. Not all answer choices will be used? Enzyme 1. Calcitriol 2. Calcidiol Answer choices A = Intestines B = Liver C - Kidney 21. In general, the processing of whole foods often leads to an increase in the content of which of the following minerals? a. Sodium b. Potassium c. Calcium d. Iron

Answer 1

Ans20: Enzyme Answer choices

(1) Calcitriol ( c)=Kidney

(2)Calcidiol (B)=Liver

Calcitriol is produced in the cells of the proximal tubule of the nephron in the kidneys by the action of 25-hydroxy vitamin D3 1-alpha hydroxylase,and an enzyme which catalyses the hydroxylation of 25-hydroxy cholecalciferol in the 1-alpha position.

Calcitriol is used to treat and prevent low levels of calcium and bone disease in patient whose kidney or parathyroid glands are not working normally.

The liver and Kidney convert the calcidiol into calcitriol .Calcidiol undergoes hydroxylation in the mitochondria of kidney tissue and this reaction is activated by the renal 25-hydroxy vitamin D3-1-(alpha)--hydroxylase to produce calcitriol, the active form of Vitamin D3.

Ans21: IRON

In general, the processing of whole food often leads to an increase in the content of Iron mineral.

According to the report the processing of whole foods contain 57℅ Sodium,43℅ potassium, 48℅ Calcium, 64℅ Iron.

Out of all these minerals,Iron is present in more amount.

Iron is used in the production of Haemoglobin in RBC, Which help to carry oxygen to the body's cells and tissues.In the red blood cells,iron combines with a protein called haemoglobin Iron is also important for our immune systems,brain function and muscle strength.
