Question
Chapter 50.4, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To explain: The predictions related to the synthesis of an active form of vitamin D in mammals using the energy of sunlight.
Introduction: Skin cells in the mammals that are receiving regular exposure to sunlight produces vitamin D from the precursor 7-dehydrocholesterol. This reaction in skin cells for the production of vitamin D requires UV light also.
