• Pig iron to cast iron
• Impure copper into pure copper

Section D

23. Humans, monkeys and guinea pigs do not have the enzymes necessary for the biosynthesis of vitamin C, so they must include the vitamin in their diets. It is also required for the synthesis of collagen, which is the structural protein of skin, tendors, connective tissue and bone.

Answer the following questions based on the above passage.

• Give the structure of vitamin C and the functional groups therein.
• Is it acidic in nature? What is the common name of vitamin C?
• What values are associated with vitamin C?
