Biology

lana [24]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Calcium is a mineral found in many foods. Almost all calcium is stored in bones and teeth to help make and keep them strong. Your body needs calcium to help muscles and blood vessels contract and expand, and to send messages through the nervous system. Calcium is also used to help release hormones and enzymes that affect almost every function in the human body.

Zinc, a mineral that people need to stay healthy, is found in cells throughout the body. It helps the immune system fight off invading bacteria and viruses. The body also needs zinc to make proteins and DNA, the genetic material in all cells. During pregnancy, infancy, and childhood, the body needs zinc to grow and develop properly. Zinc also helps wounds heal and is important for our ability to taste and smell. Zinc is found in a wide variety of foods, and is found in most multivitamin/mineral supplements.

The Earth is more massive than the moon. How will a person’s weight on the moon compare to their weight on Earth?
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The weight of a person on the moon is less, compared to their weight on Earth.

Explanation:

Gravitation is a force. Gravity is the force that tries to pull two objects toward each other.

Anything which has mass, also has a gravitational pull. The more massive an object is, the stronger its gravitational pull is. So because the moon iless massive than the earth, you will experience a less gravitational pull and therefore a you will experience less weight on the moon compared to your weight on earth.

EXTRA

The Gravitational pull is difined by the force that arises of masses of two objects in relation to their distance.

Earth's gravity is what keeps you on the ground and what causes objects to fall back to earth.

You can experience a change in gravitational pull on earth yourself, in an exelerating or decelerating elevator.
