Vitamins are indeed organic molecules that are often required as cofactors by enzymes for their proper functioning (A). They cannot be synthesized in sufficient quantities by the body and thus must be obtained through the diet (B). Riboflavin, also known as vitamin B2 (not B₂), is indeed converted into the coenzymes FAD and FMN, which are essential for various biochemical reactions (C). Insufficient intake of vitamins can lead to various deficiency diseases, such as scurvy from a lack of vitamin C or rickets from a lack of vitamin D (D).
