Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
Vitamins are organic compounds that we need to ingest in small amounts to keep our bodies functioning properly.
- •
Vitamins come in two types: lipid-soluble and water-soluble, which determines how the body transports, stores, and gets rid of any excess.
- •
Unlike water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins need proteins to transport them into the blood and around the body.
