5. Which of these eating plans is deficient in active vitamin A? (You should be able toquicklyscan the meal plans and tell which is deficient in active vitamin A without calculating values.)"Vitamin A" is either active vitamin A (animal source), or beta-carotene (plant source), or a mixture of both, if from both animal and plant sources.
a. The RDA of vitamin A is about 900 mcgRAE (retinol activity units) for males, 700 mcg RAE for females. Does this eating plan have enough beta-carotene to compensate for its lack of active vitamin A? Your answer (yes or no) must be supported by the data you collected in the above tables.
