Minerals are related to compounds and elements.

A mineral is defined as a naturally occurring substance that has a definite chemical composition and crystal structure.

Most minerals are made of two or more elements that are chemically combined together to form a compound. Others such as gold or copper are made of a single element. Minerals are grouped according to their chemical composition or makeup.

A mineral is always a solid and has a definite shape and volume and always has a characteristic crystal structure.

Although janay's brain makes up only about ____ percent of her total body weight, it uses about _____ percent of the total oxyge
In-s [12.5K]
The brain represents 2% of the total body weight for a human. But it uses 20% of the total oxygen and calories absorbed by the body (so ten times more than its weight ratio) it proves that it is an important organ that need a lot of energy.

The brain is the seat of higher functions (cognitive functions, senses, nervous responses) and vegetative functions. It is, therefore, an essential organ that regulates all vital functions. Like a central unit in a desk computer, the brain receives information from the entire human body via afferent nerves, integrates and analyzes them, and responds by emitting new signals that descend to the parts of the body concerned by the efferent nerves.
