Question

This is all for RIBOFLAVIN or otherwise known as Vitamin B2

1. Structure

2. Would it be hydrophobic, hydrophilic or amphipathic?

3. Function(s) in the body (may be more than one)

5. Lowest amount you need to prevent disease of deficiency

6. Recommended dose to be “effective” (could range depending on condition)

7. Highest amount you can take before it becomes toxic

8. Food sources that are rich in that nutrient (and how much you would have to eat to obtain an “effective” dose)
