•  Intestinal disorder
•  Nervous disorder
•  Haemorrhage in gums
•  Malfunctioning in kidneys

Scurvy is a condition characterised by general weakness, anaemia, gingivitis (gum disease), and skin haemorrhages caused by a prolonged deficiency of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in the diet. Vitamin C plays a crucial role in the formation of collagen, a major component of connective tissue.

Q3. . Nyctalopia is caused by deficiency of vitamin

•   E

In the absence of light, rhodopsin is regenerated. The body synthesizes rhodopsin from vitamin A, which is why a deficiency in vitamin A causes poor night vision

Q4. Pellagra is caused due to the deficiency of

•  Ascorbic acid/Vit. C
•  Nicotinic acid/Vit.B5
•  Pantothenic acid
•   Folic acid

Pellagra is a disease characterised by diarrhoea, dermatitis and dementia. If left untreated, death is the usual outcome. It occurs as a result of niacin (vitamin B-3) deficiency. Niacin is required for most cellular processes.

Q5. Night blindness is caused by

•  Genetic disturbance
•   Excessive drinking
•   Vitamin A deficiency
•  Excess secretion of adrenals

In general rich sources of magnesium are greens, nuts, seeds, dry beans, whole grains and low-fat dairy products. The recommended dietary allowance for magnesium for adult men is 400-420mg per day.

Q6. Continued consumption of diet rich in butter, red meat and eggs over long period may lead to

•  Vitamin A toxicity
•  Kidney stones
•  Hypercholesterolemia
•  Urine laden with ketone bodies

Q7. Excessive bleeding from an injury is due to deficiency of

•   Vitamin A
•   Vitamin B
•  Vitamin K
•  Vitamin E

Vitamin K deficiencies in newborns are associated with vitamin K deficiency bleeding or VKDB (also known as hemorrhagic disease of the newborn).

Q8. Deficiency of vitamin C/Ascorbic acid causes

•  Rickets
•  Beri-Beri
•  Scurvy
•  Night blindness

Scurvy happens when there is a lack of vitamin C, or ascorbic acid. The deficiency leads to symptoms of weakness, anemia, gum disease, and skin problems.

Q9.  Prolonged deficiency of nicotinic acid produces

•  Osteomalacia
•  Xerophthalmia
•  Pellagra
•  Anaemia

Niacin (nicotinic acid) is a vitamin that acts as a part of coenzymes (NAD, NADP) which serve as hydrogen acceptors and donors for many enzymes.

Q10. Which pairing is not correct

•  Vitamin D–Rickets
•  Vitamin K–Sterility
•  Thiamine–Beri-Beri
•  iacin–Pellagra
