Which of the following is not an important function of the liver?
Select one:
A. carbohydrate and lipid metabolism
B. synthesis of vitamin K
C. synthesis of bile salts
D. protein metabolism
Homework Answers
Option B - Synthesis of vitamin K
Vitamin K is not synthesised in our body. Either we get it from food (leafy vegetables, cauliflower, cabbage etc) or it get produced in large intestine by bacteria.
However carbohydrates, proteins and fats are metabolised in liver and also bile is produced in liver stored in gallbladder.
