Explanation:

Minerals can become chemical constituents of vitamins sometimes. Minerals can also be located in hormones, muscles, bones, and enzymes

As part of human struture, minerals can become part of the body's structure.

It has been proven that there are about sixty(60) different minerals that constitutes about four percent (4%) of the body.

Answer:

b. become part of the body's structural systems.

Explanation:

  • Minerals are the inorganic regulators needed for different functions inside the body.
  • Minerals donot provide energy but involved in generation of energ through their metabolic function. (Hence option A is excluded)
  • They provide a good medium for the protoplasmic activities (permeability of cell membrane and normal functioning of cell)
  • Maintaining bod fluid balance.
  • For structural units.
  • Cannot be degraded in the body neither can be destroyed while cooking ( Hence option c and d are excluded)
  • They become the part of the body's strctral systems (Hence option B is the right answer)

A longshore current flowing southwards along a coast will primarily transport sediments
babunello [35]

Southwards parallel to the shoreline.

A geological course that is made up of the movement of sediments like silt, clay, shingle and sandd within a coast parallel to the shoreline, which is reliant on oblique approaching wind direction is called longshore drift. Oblique incoming wind restraints water along the coast, and so creates a water current which moves parallel to the coast.

HELP ME PLEASE!!!
Sidana [21]

Answer:

The way I would separate the shell fragments from the sand would be by using a filter. As shell fragments are larger than sand. So I would use a filter with 2 mm spaces to separate them. Now, for the sand separation from the water, I would heat the water so it would evaporate and connect a tube to another recipient making the sand stay in the first tube and the water vapor cools in the tube to precipitate in the other recipient. Three mixtures I have prepared at home are chocolate milk, coffee and cream, and lemon juice and tea.

Explanation:

To understand this answer we have to remember a few things. First, mixtures always have solute and solvent. The solvent is the most liquid component of the mixture and it can incorporate the more solid element in its composition to carry it. Now, there are several methods to separate them, barrier methods like filters are the first and more basic ones, as they are aimed to separated big solutes. While evaporation can be used to separate two very liquid elements. Like distillation of alcohol to separate the most concentrated oil from the alcohol.

New Zealand has a population of 4,326,380 and has an area of 103,736 while Australia has an area of 2,967,909 miles and a popula
inna [77]

Since the country has a smaller area and a large amount of people (although smaller than Australia) the ratio of land to people in New Zealand is much larger than the ration of land to people in Australia.

A good model of the cell membrane would be
Wewaii [24]

Answer;

C. A wall of stones and mortar

This would act as a model describing the cell membrane.

Explanation;

A cell membrane is made up of a phospholipid bilayer with embedded proteins.

A cell membrane hold the different components of the cell together and to protect it from the environment outside the cell. It acts as a boundary between the inside environment and the outside environment of a cell.

It regulates the materials that enters and exits the cell; through selective movement of substances in and out of the cell.
