Verified step by step guidance

Understand the role of vitamins in the human body. Vitamins are organic compounds that are essential for various biochemical functions.

Recognize that vitamins do not directly provide energy like carbohydrates, fats, or proteins. Instead, they facilitate energy production by acting as coenzymes.

Learn that coenzymes are molecules that assist enzymes in catalyzing biochemical reactions. Vitamins often serve as precursors to coenzymes.

Identify that vitamins are crucial for metabolic processes, which include the conversion of food into energy, synthesis of molecules, and regulation of cellular activities.

Note that vitamins are not involved in storing genetic information or serving as primary building blocks of cells. These functions are carried out by nucleic acids and proteins, respectively.
