Abstract: | The human body is primarily composed of biomolecules, like proteins, newlinevitamins, nucleic acids, lipids and carbohydrates. Biomolecules are molecules newlineinvolved in maintenance and metabolic processes of the living organisms. newlineBiomolecules primarily consist of C and H, along with N, O, P and S. Sometimes newlineother elements are also incorporated but are much less common. All living systems newlinecan grow, sustain and reproduce themselves. Different chemical changes occurring newlinein living bodies, fall in the domain of biochemistry. There are various molecules newlinewhich take part in biochemical reactions of living bodies. These molecules interact newlinewith each other under optimum conditions and form different products. Hence, the newlinebiomolecules are organic compounds which form the basis to sustain life and are newlineresponsible for their growth, maintenance and ability to reproduce. newlineA vitamin is an organic compound and a vital nutrient that an organism newlinerequires in limited amounts. An organic compound is called a vitamin when the newlineorganism cannot synthesize the compound in sufficient quantity, and it must be newlineobtained through the diet; thus, the term quotvitaminquot is conditional upon the newlinecircumstances and organism. Supplementation is important for the treatment of newlinecertain health problems, but there is little evidence of nutritional benefit when used newlineby otherwise healthy people. By convention, the term vitamin includes neither other newlineessential nutrients, such as dietary minerals, essential fatty acids, or essential amino newlineacids nor the great number of other nutrients that promote health, and are required newlineless often to maintain the health of the organism. Vitamins are classified by their newlinebiological and chemical activities, not their structures. These are categorized in two newlinegroups: (a) fat-soluble and (b) water-soluble vitamins. |
