Which food group is responsible for the release of prothrombin, which is responsible for blood clotting?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
Vitamin K
💡 Explanation:
Vitamin K is essential for the synthesis of prothrombin and other clotting factors in the liver. Without adequate Vitamin K, blood cannot clot properly. Dietary potassium is an electrolyte, protein builds tissue, and Vitamin E is an antioxidant - none are involved in the clotting cascade.
