Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of vitamins in the body: Vitamins are organic compounds that are essential for normal growth and nutrition, usually required in small quantities in the diet because they cannot be synthesized by the body.

Identify the primary function of vitamins in metabolism: Vitamins primarily function as coenzymes, which are non-protein compounds that bind to enzymes and assist in catalyzing metabolic reactions.

Differentiate between the options: Consider each option and its relevance to the function of vitamins. Storing genetic information is a function of nucleic acids, not vitamins. Serving as structural components of cell membranes is a role of lipids, and providing energy is primarily the role of carbohydrates and fats.

Focus on the correct function: Recognize that acting as coenzymes in metabolic reactions is the primary role of vitamins, as they help enzymes in the conversion of nutrients into energy and other necessary substances.

Conclude with the correct understanding: Conclude that the primary function of vitamins in nutrient metabolism is to act as coenzymes, facilitating various biochemical reactions necessary for maintaining health and supporting life processes.
