Vitamins which are not stored in body are called?
Correct answer: D. Water soluble vitamins
- A. Fat soluble vitamins
- B. Minerals
- C. Fats

Explanation
. Option D is correct since water-soluble vitamins are readily absorbed by water and are immediately available to tissues for consumption. Any excess of these water-soluble vitamins are quickly excreted in urine and will rarely accumulate to toxic levels. Option A is incorrect since fat-soluble vitamins dissolve in fat and are stored in the fats in our body. Option B is incorrect since minerals are not vitamins Option C is incorrect since fats are not vitamins.

About Enzymes
Enzymes are biological catalysts that lower activation energy without being consumed, and their specificity is explained by the lock and key and induced fit models. Work includes the effects of temperature, pH and substrate concentration on reaction rate, plus competitive and non-competitive inhibition and how these differ.
