How does vitamin C deficiency compromise collagen structure?

A: -Vitamin D3 is essential for normal growth, calcium absorption, and skeletal development. -Women have a higher need for Vitamin D-Get it by UV radiation-Darker skin people do not absorb enough UV radiation in areas where UV rays don't enter as much(Canada)

B: genetic disease caused by a mutation in the genes that code for the enzymes that either stabilize or make collagen.

C: Vitamin C is a critical co-factor for the function of two enzymes involved in making collagen proteins and stabilizing the collagen fibers.Without the enzymes, no hydroxyl groups will be put on the amino acids of collagen and it will become very weak

D: Protein shape in inextricably tied to its proper function. The final shape and components of proteins are essentially important to their function
