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.

Allushta [10]
To see the difference between <span>biped and a quadruped,</span> let's compare the skeletons of the man (biped) and the horse (quadruped):

*The man has the bigger pelvis: he has to bear the weight of the body.*The scapula is smaller.*The bones of the hind leg bigger.*The forearms more mobile.*The man has the spine that attaches under the skull.*And the tail that has completely regressed.

Zygote, gamete, and fertilization are key terms associated with sexual reproduction. identify the definitions and examples of th
Debora [2.8K]
The zygote simply is the fertilized ovum or egg cell or female reproductive cell. It is the result of the process of fertilization of the fusion of the male reproductive cell (gamete) and the female reproductive cell ( gamete). In human, the zygote is the resulted cell of fertilization of the sperm and the ovum. It is diploid or 2N which means it contains two sets of chromosomes; one set from the male and the other from the female.

The gamete is the reproductive cell. There are two types of gametes; male gamete and female gamete. In human, the male gamete is called the sperm and the female gamete is called the ovum. The gamete is the last stage of the reproductive cells to be completely formed.

Fertilization is the fusion of the male gamete and the female gamete to form the zygote. Fertilization may be external as in fish or internal as in human.
