Answer: Calcium.

Explanation:

Bone is a metabolically active, multifunctional tissue consisting of a heterogeneous population of cells at different stages of cell differentiation. The skeleton contains 99% of the body's Ca and functions as a reserve of this ion, whose concentration in the blood must be kept constant for normal body functioning. Bone is approximately 70% minerals, 20% organic matrix and about 10% water, which sets it apart from other less rigid connective tissues. The mineral or inorganic matrix is predominantly formed by Ca and P, in the form of hydroxyapatite crystals, Ca3 (PO4) 2, constituting approximately 60 to 70% of the bone weight and being responsible for the stiffness and compressive strength properties.

How it’s possible to compress a given amount of air into a smaller space?
anzhelika [568]

Explanation:

A gas is one of the three states of matter on earth and in the universe.

Gases are easily compressible and they can fit into just any container available.

This is because of their fascinating properties.

  • The particles of gases are very far apart and are held together by weak attractive forces unlike liquids and solids.
  • Gases are always in constant motion and their particles are random.
  • They do not have a fixed shape and structure.
  • When pressure is applied on them, they are easily compressed and fit into any container they are placed.

Do you think the biodiversity is as high in a city park as it is in a rainforest?why or why not?
geniusboy [140]

No, the biodiversity is not as high in a city park as it is in a farm or rainforest

because, in an urban city park, only the species with the most general habitat and resource requirements have generally remained in the urban park.

<h3>What is Biodiversity ?</h3>

“Biodiversity” not only refers to the number of individual species, but also the genetic variety within and between species and the diversity of ecosystems and regions.

  • City Parks are less likely to have biodiversity richness as compared to a farm or a rainforest.

  • This is because these parts are artificially created and a lot of naturally occurring flora and fauna are modified in the process. This results in dilution of biodiversity-rich place.

​in addition to calcium, what appears to help prevent and treat hypertension in certain populations?
Helen [10]
The answer is Potassium.
Potassium and  calcium play a critical role in both the prevention and treatment of hypertension. An increased intake of minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and calcium by dietary means has been shown to reduce blood pressure in patients with hypertension. This is because potassium lessens the effects of sodium.
