State the importance of calcium and zinc in our body​

Biology
1 answer:
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.

What is the name of the thermodynamic barrier that must be overcome before products are formed in a spontaneous reaction?
ira [324]

The thermodynamic barrier that must be overcome before products are formed in spontaneous reaction is activation energy.

The activation energy is the maximum amount of extra energy that is required by a reacting molecules to get converted into product. It is the minimum energy that is required or needed to activate or energize molecules or atoms.

It is needed in the reaction so that reactants can move together and overcome forces of repulsion and start bond breaking.

Reactant is the substance that takes part in and that undergoes change during a reaction.

xeze [42]

Answer:

The process that Mildred used is known as Radiocarbon dating

Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is given below:

Mildred collects a sample of fossilized plant material. She takes it back to her lab to run some tests on it. Mildred is able to measure the amount of carbon-14 in her sample and compare this to the amount of carbon-12 in it. She uses this information to calculate that the fossil is 4,500 year old. The process that Mildred used is known as _______

Radiocarbon dating

Faulting

Indexing

Superposition

Explanation:

Radiocarbon dating is a process of determining the age estimates of various objects and materials using the radioactive properties of an isotope of carbon, carbon-14.

Radiocarbon dating uses the ratio of two isotopes of carbon, carbon-12 and carbon-14 present in materials which contains carbon to determine their age.

There is a fairly constant ratio of carbon-12 and carbon-14 in living organisms. However, at death, due to the decay of carbon-14 to carbon-12, the ratio begins to change. Since the rate of decay of carbon-14 is fairly constant, a property known as half-life, the time it has taken for carbon-14 to decay to carbon-12 can be calculated. This calculated time will givee the age of the fossilised material.
