Title: Short questions on Vitamin and Fluoride on Long Island
Part I
1.
	Vitamin K is produced by bacteria in the large intestine. According to Smith et al, it is mainly sourced into the body from green parts of the plants and when they reach to the large intestine in the digestive system, the bacteria act upon them to produce vitamin K.
2.
	Anemia is seen to have caused due to the deficiency of vitamin E in the human body because vitamin E is closely linked to the functions of the endocrine glands secreting the sex hormones and the levels of iron in the body. As mentioned by Suffridge et al, when there is a deficiency of vitamin E in the body, the ferric form of iron is changed into the ferrous form of iron, which is why the functional form of iron is converted into the non-functional one. This is due to the action of the sex hormones secreted by the sex glands that this deficient form of iron is reduced by vitamin E and anemia is occurred to the human body.
3. 
	Vitamin D controls or regulates the amount of Magnesium in the body. As stated by Kennedy, magnesium is related to reducing the levels of cholesterol in blood, strengthening tooth enamel and bones, which is why it is closely related to vitamin D.
4. 
	High intake of beta-carotene can give the skin an orange color. As mentioned by Smith et al., if excessive amount of carotenoids are consumed through daily diet, it might lead to turning the skin to acquire a condition known as carotenosis. 
5.
	True. According to Lazzarino et al., excess Beta Carotene can lead to producing excess vitamin A. Vitamin A in large amount in the body can be toxic, therefore, beta carotene being indirectly responsible for the development of the toxic symptoms. 
6. 
	Rhodopsin is the molecule containing vitamin A that regulates the biochemistry of electrical vision signal transmission to the brain. As informed by McGarel et al., the rhodopsin is responsible for the dark vision in the dim light, which sends signals to the brain in the dark.
