The entire process of bone formation requires a number of substances, including vitamin D (which enhances calcium absorption from the GI tract) and vitamin C (which is required for collagen formation), as well as calcium and phosphorus for calcification.
Explanation:
The entire process of bone formation requires a number of substances, including vitamin D (which enhances calcium absorption from the GI tract) and vitamin C (which is required for collagen formation), as well as calcium and phosphorus for calcification.The main function of vitamin D is to increase Calcium absorption in the intestines. This absorption aids in the depositing of minerals on the bone matrix. This in turn strengthens the bone preventing fractures especially in the elderly population.Vitamin C with it's antioxidant properties has a principal function of facilitating collagen production through interaction with the amino acids found in collagen.
One of the two ways minerals form is by: 1. crystallization of magma (cools inside the crust) or lava (cools & hardens on the surface) 2. crystallization of materials dissolved in water. When these liquids cool to a solid state, they form crystals.
The reported mass will be too high because the initially recorded mass will include both water and impurities and the final mass will without both components. The difference will be larger so the amount of water reported would be higher.
