Answer to Question 1

Answer: FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Vitamins are carbon-containing compounds required in small amounts to regulate body processes, such as blood-cell production, nerve function, and skin and bone maintenance. They also help chemical reactions take place. Minerals originate in the earth and cannot be produced by living organisms or broken down. Water-soluble vitamins dissolve in water, and fat-soluble vitamins dissolve in fat. Neither vitamins nor minerals are energy nutrients.
