State the importance of calcium and zinc in our body​

Biology

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.

Homeostasis is a term referring to an organisms continuous process of maintaining and auto-regulating the conditions of its internal environment. Variables such as pH, temperature, and fluid balance need to be at optimal conditions in order for the organism to function properly.

What must happen to the agent of erosion (wind or water) in order for deposition to occur?
Gnoma [55]

I am pretty sure that it is D

With decomposition, the final deposition of particles(sediments) usually occurs at the mouth of a stream. Then a process called horizontal sorting occurs where the sediments that were once carried down are arranged from big to small. Decomposition in streams takes time so the speed of the water and wind should not affect it nor should gravity or the direction. Streams cannot change direction either unless human involement occurs

Hope this helps :)
