vitamin D
26
fat : sources
liver 🐟 oils 🥛VV Rays in 🌞
27
fat soluble use
absorb calcium from our intestines into the blood🩸

30
minerals animals🐾
calcium forms bones+teeth 🦴 iron forms pigment haemoglobin in red blood cells 🩸
31
importance of water in living things💧
major component of cytoplasm+body fluids good solvent-allows many cell reaction to take place key role in chemical reactions
32
anabolic reactions
make larger molecules from smaller ones requires energy photosynthesis
33
catabolic reactions
break down larger molecules to form smaller ones
