| 2. Some vitamins have hormone-like functions as regulators of mineral metabolism (e.g., vitamin D). | б) Витамином называют такое органическое химическое соединение, которое не может быть синтезировано организмом в достаточных количествах, и поэтому должно быть получено из пищевых продуктов. |
| 3.Others function as antioxidants (e.g., vitamin E and sometimes vitamin C). | с) Другие функции витаминов также нужны. |
| 4. The largest number of vitamins (e.g., B complex vitamins) function as precursors for enzyme cofactors. | d)Другие функционируют так антиоксиданты (витамин Е и иногда витамин С). |
| 5. Vitamins may also be less tightly bound to enzyme catalysts. | е) Жирорастворимые витамины абсорбируются в желудочно-кишечном тракте с помощью липидов. |
