Select one:

a. food.

b. beverages.

c. sweat.

d. metabolic processes.

A major function of minerals in the body is their participation in the processes of converting macronutrients to ATP. Maintaining fluid balance between intracellular and extracellular structures is an important function of minerals in the body.

a. First statement is true, second is false.

b. Both statements are false.

c. First statement is false, second is true.

d. Both statements are true.

Answer 1

Question 1. Option a first statement is false second statement is true.

Osteomalacia refers to a marked softening of your bones, most often caused by severe vitamin D deficiency

Fortified means vitamins or minerals have been added to a food that weren't originally in the food. If calcium is added it is good source of calcium.

Question 2. Option c sweat. The act of secreting fluid from the skin by the sweat (sudoriferous) glands. These are small tubular glands situated within and under the skin (in the subcutaneous tissue). They discharge by tiny openings in the surface of the skin. ... It is also called perspiration. It is an act loosing fluid.

Question 3 option c.the first statement is false second is true.

Over a hundred ATP molecules are synthesized from the complete oxidation of one molecule of fatty acid, and almost forty ATP molecules result from amino acid and pyruvate oxidation. Two ATP molecules are synthesized in the cytoplasm via the conversion of glucose molecules to pyruvate.

Minerals play important role in homeostasis. Electrolytes, particularly sodium, help the body maintain normal fluid levels in the fluid compartments because the amount of fluid a compartment contains depends on the amount (concentration) of electrolytes in it. If the electrolyte concentration is high, fluid moves into that compartment (a process called osmosis).

Question 4.option b first statement is false second is true. If there is only one type of antioxidant present, say in the case of a high-dose vitamin C supplement, then there are no other antioxidants to provide that protective cascade effect. Then you could end up with a bunch of reactive vitamin C, which itself can cause what they call “antioxidant stress.”

antioxidants scavenge free radicals, preventing DNA damage and subsequent mutation..

Question 5.option a shock.
