Question

Match the following-

Vitamin	deficiency diseases
1. vitamin A	Beri beri
2. vitamin B1	Scurvy
3. vitamin C	Rickets
4. vitamin D	Nyctalopia

Answer 1

Hint: A vitamin is an organic molecule that is an important micronutrient that an organism requires in limited amounts for the proper functioning of its metabolism (or a group of molecules closely related to chemistry, i.e. vitamins). In the body, basic nutrients can not be synthesized in adequate amounts, either at all or not, and must therefore be ingested via a diet.

Complete answer:
- Retinol is also called vitamin A. This vitamin deficiency leads to loss of eyesight or blindness at night. The word used to refer to night blindness is Nyctalopia.
- Thiamine is also vitamin B1. The deficiency of this vitamin results in beriberi. The nervous system and the circulatory system are impaired by Beriberi.
- The name of vitamin C is ascorbic acid. This vitamin deficiency induces scurvy. Bleeding gums, rash, exhaustion, and weakness define Scurvy.
- Deficiency in vitamin D results in rickets. The bending of the long bones is there. The bones become fragile due to deficiency, and fractures or breakage of the bones are also found.
For normal vision, immune system, and reproduction, vitamin A is essential. Vitamin A also helps function properly in the heart, lungs, kidneys, and other organs. Two different forms of vitamin A exist. Preformed vitamin A is the first type found in meat, poultry, fish, and milk products.
Thiamine is a vitamin found in food and processed as a dietary supplement and drug, also known as thiamine or vitamin B1. Whole grains, legumes, and some meats and fish are food sources of thiamine.
Vitamin C is a vitamin present in various foods and marketed as a dietary supplement, also known as ascorbic acid and ascorbate. It is used for scurvy prevention and treatment. Vitamin C is an essential nutrient that is involved in tissue repair and the production of certain neurotransmitters by enzymes.
Among the best sources are fatty fish flesh (such as trout, salmon, tuna, and mackerel) and fish liver oils. The diet of an animal determines the amount of vitamin D in its tissues. There are small quantities of vitamin D in beef liver, cheese, and egg yolks, especially in the form of vitamin D and its metabolite 25(OH)D3.

Note:
There are thirteen vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, biotin, B6, B12, and folate): vitamins A, C, D, E, K, and B. Vitamins have different tasks, helping you to avoid infections, keep your nerves safe, and helping your body to properly coagulate with energy from food or blood.
