Vitamin C deficiency is linked to scurvy symptoms like bleeding gums and easy bruising.

5. Which of the following statements are correct?

• A. Lipids are transported in the blood as lipoproteins, which are clusters of lipids associated with proteins.
• B. In type II diabetes, the pancreas produces insulin, but cells are resistant to this signal.
• C. The glycemic index classifies foods based on their potential to raise blood glucose levels.
• D. All of the above

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Option A is correct because lipoproteins indeed transport lipids in the blood. They are complexes of lipids and proteins that transport water-insoluble lipids through the blood. Option B is correct as it accurately describes the condition of type II diabetes where the pancreas can produce insulin, but the cells are resistant to its signal, causing an ineffective regulation of blood sugar. Option C is also correct because the glycemic index is indeed a classification system for foods based on their potential to raise blood glucose levels. High glycemic index foods raise blood glucose levels faster than low glycemic index foods. Hence, all the statements are correct, making option D the correct answer.
