O Exercise 7.5 Vitamin D absorption
This exercise asks you to describe data provided in a graph, in words. It's a good idea to focus on parts
of the graph where the line changes gradient or direction, and to quote some coordinates from the granh
remembering to give the units of the figures that you refer to.
