    Vital for calcium absorption

    • Vitamin D 

    • Vitamin C 

    • Vitamin A

    Correct Answer
    A. Vitamin D 
    Explanation
    Vitamin D is vital for calcium absorption. It helps the body absorb calcium from the intestines and promotes its uptake into the bones, which is essential for maintaining strong and healthy bones. Vitamin C and vitamin A do not play a direct role in calcium absorption. Vitamin C is important for collagen synthesis and immune function, while vitamin A is crucial for vision, immune function, and cell growth. However, neither of them specifically aids in calcium absorption.

    Vegetarian diets are lower in Iron

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The given statement "Vegetarian diets are lower in Iron" is incorrect. Vegetarian diets can provide sufficient amounts of iron if they are well-balanced and include iron-rich plant-based foods such as legumes, tofu, spinach, and fortified cereals. While it is true that some plant-based sources of iron may be less easily absorbed by the body compared to animal-based sources, a well-planned vegetarian diet can still meet the iron requirements of an individual. Therefore, the correct answer is False.

    Iron stores are much lower in vegetarians

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Iron is an essential mineral found in various foods, with red meat being one of the richest sources. Vegetarians, who exclude meat from their diet, may have lower iron stores due to the absence of this major dietary source. While plant-based foods like legumes, whole grains, and leafy greens also contain iron, it is in a form that is less easily absorbed by the body. Therefore, it is likely that iron stores are lower in vegetarians compared to individuals who consume meat.
