Sucrose is sugar, sugar decays teeth
BaLLatris [955]3 years ago

Answer:

Oral bacteria feed on the sugars in order to create acids that destroy the tooth enamel.

Explanation:

<em>Eating sugar is bad for your teeth health, particularly sucrose. Even if you brush your teeth after a few minutes, sticky glycoproteins ( that's a combination of protein molecules and carbohydrates ) starts the formation of the plaque. At that same time, millions of bacteria stick really fast to the glycoprotein. Even though many bacteria stick to the teeth, only </em><em>Streptococcus mutans </em><em>causes cavities. Then, bacteria use the fructose in a metabolism to get energy. They create lactic acid. </em>

<em>Frequent brushing and flossing are crucial in order to maintain a healthy oral flora and overall health of the teeth.</em>

The skeletal system provides structural support for the entire body. What makes bones strong enough to protect body tissue?
Gre4nikov [31]
Bones contain three components that in itself make it strong and flexible. They are collagen, calcium phosphate, and living bone cells. Collagen gives bones their structure, calcium makes bones strong, and cells generate more bone cells to fill up weakened parts. Calcium intake from food supplements and milk are also good for the bones because it can strengthen them more and make the skeletal system protected from bone irregularities and problems while growing. Vitamin D is essential for the absorption of calcium in bones. In order to offer support to the muscles and tissues of the body, bone growth is very crucial, because a weak bone cannot make the body function well.
