The inactive form of a vitamin that can be converted into an active form upon absorption or in the liver is called a(n) is an example of this.

provitamin, beta-carotene

Explanation:

Beta-carotene is an example of a provitamin. It is a less active form of retinol (Vitamin A) that is synthesized by plants. Animals i.e. humans, cannot synthesize or make use of this form of Vitamin A. It can only be made available for use in humans through normal metabolic processes. Humans can access this provitamin by consuming food that is rich in beta-carotene. When beta-carotene undergoes normal metabolic processes in the body, it is transformed into retinol, which is an active form of Vitamin A. Vitamin A is needed by humans for healthy skin, good vision and eye health, as well as maintaining strong immune system.

photosynthesis makes the glucose that is used in cellular respiration to make atp. the glucose is then turned back into carbon dioxide, which is used in photosynthesis. while water is broken down to form oxygen during photosynthesis, in cellular respiration oxygen is combined with hydrogen to form water.
