Question
_____ is also known as Ascorbic acid.
The correct answer is
Vitamin C
The correct answer is Vitamin C.
Vitamin C is chemically ascorbic acid, a water-soluble antioxidant vitamin needed for collagen synthesis and iron absorption; its deficiency causes scurvy.
Vitamin A is retinol, vitamin D is calciferol and vitamin E is tocopherol—none of them is ascorbic acid.
Short trick: Ascorbic = anti-scorbutic (anti-scurvy) → Vitamin C.
