Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin that is synthesized by intestinal bacteria.

Further Explanation:

Vitamin is essential nutrient present in our body to support the important function of the body. Vitamins are divided into two categories;

⦁Water-soluble vitamins

⦁Fat-soluble vitamins

Vitamin B family and vitamin C come under water-soluble vitamin. Vitamin A, E, D, K is an example of fat-soluble vitamin.

Vitamin K is of two types;

⦁Vitamin $\left({{{\rm{K}}_{\rm{1}}}}\right)$ called phylloquinone

⦁Vitamin $\left({{{\rm{K}}_{\rm{2}}}}\right)$ called menaquinones

Vitamin $\left({{{\rm{K}}_{\rm{1}}}}\right)$ produced by plant and present in leafy vegetables. The human intestine contains bacteria which convert Vitamin $\left({{{\rm{K}}_{\rm{1}}}}\right)$ into vitamin $\left({{{\rm{K}}_{\rm{2}}}}\right)$ . Bacteria also attaché isoprene unit to vitamin $\left({{{\rm{K}}_{\rm{2}}}}\right)$ and produce many forms.

Roles of vitamin K are:

⦁To help in blood clotting.

⦁To help in bone mineralization.

⦁To act as a coenzyme for blood clotting.

Deficiency of vitamin K can cause excessive bleeding.

Diseases caused due to vitamin K deficiency are:

⦁Hemorrhage

⦁Osteoporosis

⦁Chronic heart disease

⦁Aortic calcification

answer: tributaries flow into rivers.

wetland is a biome that develops when the water gets accumulated in a land exhibiting a huge depression. these form either seasonally or permanently. the water in the wetland comes from rivers, lakes, ocean, flood, rain or other sources. the wetlands includes mangroves, marshes and peatland.

tributaries flow into the rivers develops a wetland because such water will get deposited in the depression and will restrict the original flow of tributary water. hence, water with low drainage current combines with the river water.
