Explanation:

Vitamin K1 the precursor of most vitamin K in nature, is an important chemical in green plants, where it functions as an electron acceptor in photosystem during photosynthesis. For this reason, vitamin K1 is found in large quantities in the photosynthetic tissues of plants (green leaves, and dark green leafy vegetables such as romaine lettuce, kale, and spinach), but it occurs in far smaller quantities in other plant tissues (roots, fruits, etc.).
