Question

Which of the following is an incorrect match of animal nutrient and nutrient role?

A) fluorine: a basic constituent of proteins
B) phosphorus: important for bone and tooth formation
C) calcium: gives rigidity to the skeletons of vertebrates
D) cobalt: required by ruminants for the synthesis of vitamin B12

Answer 1

The incorrect match of animal nutrient and nutrient role is fluorine: a basic constituent of proteins.

Step-by-step explanation:

The incorrect match of animal nutrient and nutrient role is A) fluorine: a basic constituent of proteins.

Fluorine is not a basic constituent of proteins.

It is primarily found in bones and teeth as calcium fluoride and contributes to their strength and rigidity.

Protein constituents are made up of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen.
