Question

Which nutrient is most closely related to the liver's ability to produce necessary clotting factors?

A) Iron
B) Vitamin E
C) Vitamin K
D) Folic Acid

Answer 1

Vitamin K

Step-by-step explanation:

Vitamin K is a fat soluble vitamin and plays an important role in the bone metabolism. Two important compounds of Vitamin K are Vitamin K1 and Vitamin K2.

Vitamin K is synthesized in the liver and helps in the coagulation of blood. Vitamin K acts as a coenzyme for vitamin K-dependent carboxylase. This enzyme is important for the synthesis of proteins that are involved in blood coagulation and bone metabolism.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
