Answer to Question 1

D
Vitamins are classified as fat-soluble (vitamins A, D, E, and K) or water-soluble (vitamins C and the B complex); the functions of vitamins are unique to each individual vitamin. Water-soluble vitamins must be ingested every day, because they are not stored in the body.

Answer to Question 2

A
When protein in the form of amino acids are converted into glucose and used for energy, the process is known as gluconeogenesis.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
