Answer 2

Answer:

a) Thiamin is the correct answer.

Explanation:

• Thiamin is an important cofactor for the key enzymes involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids and amino acids and the synthesis of neurotransmitters but not in the growth of bone.

• Calcium and magnesium are essential for bone growth.

• Humans absorb most of our calcium through a good diet and natural sunlight.

• People with higher intakes of magnesium have a higher bone mineral density.

• Vitamin D helps in the absorption of calcium that is essential for bone development.
