Question

boteto de salida: vitaminas, minerales, agua
what is the most important difference between fat soluble and water soluble vitamins?
there are at least 10 fat soluble vitamins
water soluble are stored and can stay in the body a while
fat soluble vitamins can be stored and used by the body later when needed
fat soluble vitamins, since they are stored in the fat cells, can cause significant weight gain
there are at least 10 fat soluble vitamins

Explanation:

Para determinar la diferencia entre vitaminas liposolubles (solubles en grasa) y hidrosolubles (solubles en agua), se analizan las opciones:

• La primera opción ("water soluble are stored...") es incorrecta, ya que las hidrosolubles no se almacenan (se eliminan en la orina).
• La segunda opción ("fat soluble vitamins can be stored...") es correcta: las liposolubles se almacenan en tejidos grasos y se utilizan posteriormente.
• La tercera opción ("fat soluble vitamins... cause weight gain") es errónea, ya que el almacenamiento no causa "ganancia significativa" de peso.
• La cuarta opción ("there are at least 10...") es falsa (las liposolubles son A, D, E, K: ~4).

Answer:

B. fat soluble vitamins can be stored and used by the body later when needed
