Biomolecules question

2022 · 26 Jun · Shift 2 · Q15

JEE MainChemistryBiomoleculesMCQ+4 / −1
Which one of the following is a water soluble vitamin, that is not excreted easily?
  1. A
    Vitamin B2B_2B2​
  2. B
    Vitamin B1B_1B1​
  3. C
    Vitamin B6B_6B6​
  4. D
    Vitamin B12B_{12}B12​

Correct answer: D

  1. Recall the general rule

    Vitamins are of two types:

    • Water-soluble vitamins: B-complex vitamins and vitamin C
    • Fat-soluble vitamins: A, D, E, K

    Water-soluble vitamins are generally readily excreted in urine and are not stored much in the body.

  2. Identify the exception

    Among the water-soluble vitamins, Vitamin B12B_{12}B12​ is a well-known exception because it is:

    • stored in the liver in significant amounts,
    • therefore not excreted easily compared to other water-soluble vitamins.
  3. Check the options

    • A: Vitamin B2B_2B2​ — water-soluble, generally excreted easily
    • B: Vitamin B1B_1B1​ — water-soluble, generally excreted easily
    • C: Vitamin B6B_6B6​ — water-soluble, though some storage may occur, it is not the standard exception asked here
    • D: Vitamin B12B_{12}B12​ — water-soluble and not excreted easily
  4. Conclusion

    Therefore, the correct answer is: Vitamin B12\boxed{\text{Vitamin } B_{12}}Vitamin B12​​
