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.
