Consider the following statements : I. Vitamins are the organic compounds required in small amounts in the diet but their deficiency causes specific disease. II. Vitamins cannot be synthesised by plant but our body can only synthesise them. III. Some of the vitamins are produced by the bacteria's gut. IV. Vitamins are necessary to perform the specific biological functions tor the normal maintenance of optimum growth and health of the organism. Select the false statement about the vitamins and choose the correct option.

Answer»

Only I
Only II
Only III
Only IV

Solution :Certain ORGANIC compounds are required in the small amounts in our diet but their deficiency causes SPECIFIC diseases. These compounds are called vitamins. Most of the vitamins cannot be synthesised in our body but PLANTS can synthesise almost all of them, so they are considered as essential food factors. However, the bacteria of the gut can produce some of the vitamins required by us. All of the vitamins are generally available in our diet. Vitamins are necessary to PERFORM specific biological functions for normal maintenance of optimum growth and health·of the ORGANISMS.

Answer»

(i) and (IV)
(ii) and (V)
(iii) and (iv)
(ii) and (iii)

Solution :RATE of zero order reaction is independent of concentration. Hence, (i) is wrong.
