Problem 20
Which statement correctly pairs vitamin D forms with their typical sources and activation pathway?
A
Vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol) from fungi/mushrooms; vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) from animal foods and skin synthesis; both are converted in the liver to 25‑OH D and in the kidney to active calcitriol.
B
D2 and D3 are isomers that are not metabolically interconvertible; D2 is activated in adipose tissue whereas D3 is activated exclusively in muscle tissue.
C
Vitamin D3 is synthesized only in plants and must be converted to ergocalciferol in the liver before activation in the kidney; vitamin D2 is only synthesized in human skin when exposed to sunlight.
D
Both D2 and D3 are directly active hormones after absorption and do not require hepatic or renal hydroxylation to become calcitriol.
